| | | Because of functionality Paul Gyugyi has added to LDLite, I've been working on a new editor for LDraw files which will work with LDLite to provide WYSIWYG[1] editing. Right now, the design concept for the editor is for it to be LEdit-compatible, (...) (26 years ago, 13-Nov-98, to lugnet.cad)

| | | | | | (...) You are correct, sir! It's actually worse than that, because most of the ctrl- arrow, shift-arrow, and ctrl-shift-arrow keys are used in text editing. So the keystrokes to move the pieces would probably be taken from the keyboard. For example, (...) (26 years ago, 13-Nov-98, to lugnet.cad)
