Central Panel

The central panel is the main editing canvas. It shows all pages in a vertical scroll column.

Canvas and zoom

  • Ctrl+scroll — zoom in/out around the cursor.
  • Ctrl+0 — fit page width to the available canvas.
  • Zoom is stored per-session and does not affect the output.

Page image

Each page displays a preview rendered by the Typst compiler. While a re-render is pending the page shows a grey overlay with a spinner icon.

Page HUD

A small heads-up display floats below each page. It appears faintly at rest and expands on hover.

Drop zones

A drop zone appears between pages (and at the top/bottom of the list) when you are dragging photos from the Pool. Dropping here creates a new page and places the dragged photos onto it.

Slot overlays

When the cursor is over a page the individual photo slots are outlined. Hovering a slot highlights it; clicking selects it (add more with Ctrl+click; extend a range with Shift+click).

Selected slots can be:

  • Deleted — Delete key unplaces photos from the selected slots.
  • Weight-adjusted — W opens the weight slider for fine-grained area control.

Manual mode

In Manual mode each slot shows a yellow ✦ handle in the SE corner. Right-mouse-drag the handle to resize, or right-mouse-drag the slot body to move. A live preview outline follows the pointer while dragging.
