Good point.

Sorry, I have to disagree with you on this -- it should support *any*
view. Which is something of a problem for the arrow-key definitions
(which way does the part move when I press the <- key?), but not a big
one.

Given the constraints of the app (all the editing and interfacing is
in one window, the graphic display is in a separate, non-interactive,
window), mouse support is going to be limited to clicking menus,
hitting buttons, picking the current part-line, and selecting text.
And maybe dragging parts in from the visual catalog.
I'd like to at least allow users to be able to select a part by
clicking it in the display window, but that's definitely out of the
question.
