Hi! this should be my first new topic, so please forgive my poor english

I'd like suggest to add some keyboard shortcut to the editor, i.e. when adding objects would be useful to move the placed object with the keypad arrows, to place it in a precise location with more accuracy.
And where's the "copy mouse location" in the room's object editor? The right keyt isn't used at all, there.

the last thing: please! add more than one level of undoing in the region/hotspots/walk editor, or an erase tool.

ps: great tool, I've started using it 2 weeks ago, and it's really fast to learn and use!

Moving objects with the cursor keys would indeed be useful although I've never had a problem positioning stuff with the mouse.

Concerning the area editor, there *is* an erase tool. Plus, if you're careful, you won't need more than one undo-level.
And you can always draw the areas with a paint program, then import them. (I used to draw my areas inside AGS, but I won't any longer as I've recently tested the import function and found it to be even better than I had expected.
  Draw the areas in another layer right on the background, select all, copy all, paste as new image, reduce colors to 16, save, import, done.)

oops, I searched, but didn't find it.Sorry. :-\
The import mask is pretty good, but without a good planning it's not so useful. I need to be more organized..
By the way, why functions have those names, like hotspot4_a() and not something like hotspot4_look()?
Maybe for a better customization?
oh, ok, I'll search for it.. :-[

Hehe, yeah, there are so many entries up there now that it's not easy to find stuff if you don't know what to look for.

Because the look cursor doesn't necessarily have to be used for looking. So yes, if people customize and rename their cursor modes, it would become confusing.
Something like hotspot4_cursormode1 would probably make more sense.

If you're careful you don't need ANY undo levels  :P
