This file lists some tricks (features not necessarily obvious at first
sight) present in ProjectManager, until a decent manual has been written.


Tab Conversion Override

 You can type a literal tab character even when tab conversion is on.
 To do so by holding down the Shift key while typing hitting the tab key.


Guidelines

 You can drag vertical and horizontal "guidelines" into a code editor
 window. A guideline is a line positioned at a certain offset and it can
 be used to visually delimit blocks, certain ranges of text, etc. To add
 a guideline, simply click on any of the two rulers in the code editor's
 window and drag the mouse into the text area - a guideline will follow
 the cursor. When you release the mouse button, the guideline will stay
 where you left it. To move a guideline around the view once it's placed,
 simply click the guideline (it will light up) and drag it where you
 want it. Dragging a guideline out of the editor's visible area will
 delete it again.

  There are 3 different guideline styles:
 
   + dotted (the default)
   + dashed
   + solid

 These can be combined to serve various delimiting needs. When dragging
 the guidelines from the rulers, holding down Control will drag a dashed
 guideline, Shift a solid guideline and Control and Shift at the same
 time a dotted guideline. Without any modifiers held down, the 'default'
 guideline style is used, which can be set in the preferences.
