List Layout

The List Layout, organize the cues in a (single) list, and provide a sidebar to monitor and control running cues.

How to use

Live and Selection mode

List Layout can operate in two modes, “live” (the default), and “selection”.

• In live mode only one cue will be highlighted, this is referred as “current cue”. The list will scroll to keep the cue visible and centered.
  

• Enabling selection mode allow to select multiple cues using the standard [CTRL] and [SHIFT] modifiers, the “current cue” will be the last selected.

Selection mode can be toggled via Layout > Selection or [CTRL+SHIFT+E].

Current cue

The current cue is highlighted by the left arrow icon and a different color:

It can be played by using the GO button or [Space] (can be changed in the layout options).

To change the current cue, directional keys ⬆️ ⬇️ can be used to go up and down into the list, alternatively you can click on the cue to make it the current one.
