Canvas Workspace

The central area where you place and arrange widgets. What you see is what gets exported.

Place a widget

Drag from the Widget palette onto the canvas, or double-click a palette item to drop at the center of the active form.

Move & resize

Drag the widget body to move. Drag any of the 8 handles to resize. Hold Shift while resizing to keep proportions.

Nudge

Arrow keys move the selection by 1 px. Shift+Arrow moves by 10 px.

Tools

Three tools live on the workspace toolbar. Switch with the keyboard:

Tool Key What it does
Edit Q Default arrow — click selects, drag moves, resize handles are visible, the Properties panel rebuilds on every click
Select W Lightweight mode — click selects, drag moves, no resize handles, Properties panel stays minimal. Useful for layout work where accidental property mutations would hurt
Hand / Pan E Drag the canvas to pan

Zoom & pan

Ctrl+Wheel to zoom, Ctrl+0 to reset. Middle-mouse drag pans regardless of the active tool, or press E for the Hand tool.

Z-order

Right-click → Bring to Front / Send to Back.
