"Both: Holding down Option(Mac) / (Alt or Control on PC I can't remember which) while you are in a numerical edit field gives you a spin box (arrows that you can click with the mouse to change the value incrementally). I think someone already mentioned it but tossing the prefs file (Carrara.ini or Carrara Prefs) will restore you to factory defaults for most of the UI. Also if the app seems sluggish try turning off the UI Effects in the (surprise, surprise) UI Effects section of the preferences. There is probably some confusion as far as "focus" for a window goes, it can be hard to tell which window is "frontmost" if you have trouble with tools not being enabled or menu commands not working try switching to the Arrow tool and clicking on the window you want to be working in. I know there was some question about hot keys for which view you are in I'm not sure if this is what you are asking but "K" selects each of the current panes sequentially, and "L" toggles between one view and whatever you have selected. Read the READ ME. It has some late-breaking news. I don't know all the answers, or even most of them, I'm mainly responsible for the nuts and bolts of the application environment so please don't start bombarding me with questions, just report them on the web site or whatever the current practice is. That's all for now, keep those bug reports coming. -Ian a.k.a MetaIan"
