In case you are unfamiliar with the word fiddle, it is similar to toggle. However, instead of switching between two states, fiddle means to cycle between more than two states.

In order to reduce the number of hotkeys there are several fiddles which cycle through a few different states so that you don't have to remember a hotkey for every state.

Layout Modes

Hotkey	Ctrl+Shift+Alt+L
Right-click menu	Layout->Fiddles->Layout Modes

The fiddle for layout modes cycles through the three available layout modes.

Bumpers

Hotkey	Ctrl+Shift+Alt+M
Right-click menu	Layout->Fiddles->Bumpers

The bumper fiddle cycles through different bumper visibility modes.

If one or more frames or bumpers are not visible, the bumper fiddle will first show the hidden bumpers. Using the hotkey again will collapse any expanded frames while keeping the associated bumpers visible. When a state is reached where all bumpers are showing, the next state will hide all bumpers. From then on the bumper fiddle acts more like a toggle either showing all or hiding all bumpers.

Page Styles

Hotkey	Ctrl+Shift+S
Page frame title bar right-click menu	Page Styles

The page style fiddle hotkey is available when the focus is in a page frame.

This fiddle cycles through five available page styles.

• Dark (theme) - This style is defined by the current theme and will be similar in appearance. The name Dark indicates that the background colors are dark. For example, for the rich text page, the editor background will be dark and the foreground text color will be light.
• Light (theme) - This style is defined by the current theme and will be similar in appearance. The name Light indicates that the background colors are light. For example, for the rich text page, the editor background will be light and the foreground text color will be dark.
• Blend (theme) - This style is defined by the current theme and will be similar in appearance. The name Blend indicates that colors are chosen so as to blend the page in with the background to the extent possible.
• Dark (system) - This is the default dark style which may be applied with any theme.
• Light (system) - This is the default light style which may be applied with any theme.

Page View

Hotkey	Ctrl+Shift+V
Page frame title bar right-click menu	Page View

A page view determines which elements are hidden. The page view fiddle hotkey is available when the focus is in a page frame.

This fiddle cycles through two available page views (there may be more in the future).

• Full Page View - In the full page view all available elements on a page are visible. For example, in a rich text page, the page toolbar, format bar and rich text status bar will all be visible.
• Minimal Page View - In the minimal page view all elements on a page which can be hidden are hidden.For example, in a rich text page, the page toolbar, format bar and rich text status bar will all be hidden. This allows for a more distraction free environment.

Page Positioning Modes

Hotkey	Alt+Left, Alt+Right
Page frame title bar right-click menu	Page Layout->This Page

The page positioning fiddle is available when the focus is in a page frame.

This fiddle cycles through seven available page positioning modes.

• Basic - Basic mode presents a normal resizable window that can be moved about the center frame and positioned wherever you like.
• Dock Left - Dock left fixes the page frame to the left side of center frame with full height. Only the width is adjustable.
• Dock Right - Dock right fixes the page frame to the right side of center frame with full height. Only the width is adjustable.
• Dock Top - Dock top fixes the page frame to the top of center frame with full width. Only the height is adjustable.
• Dock Bottom - Dock bottom fixes the page frame to the bottom of center frame with full width. Only the height is adjustable.
• Dock Center - Dock center fixes the center of the page frame to the center of the center frame. The height and width are both adjustable, but the page frame will always remain centered in the frame.
• Dock VCenter - Dock vertical center fixes the center of the page frame to the center of the center frame with full height. Only the width is adjustable, and the page frame will always remain horizontally centered in the frame with full height.

Auto Arrange Modes

Hotkey	Alt+A
Page frame title bar right-click menu	Page Layout->All Pages

The auto arrange fiddle is available when the focus is in a page frame.

This fiddle cycles through three available auto arrange modes. Auto arrange modes automatically position multiple pages in the center frame and re-adjust the layout as needed when the main window or center frame are resized.

An auto arrange mode may not be able to fit all pages into view. If it cannot, then some pages may be left out.

Drag from one titlebar to another to swap page positions.

• Side by Side - Pages are arranged side by side with full vertical height.
• Stacked - Pages are arranged on top of one another, each having full horizontal width.
• Tiled - Pages are fit more like a checkerboard each having roughly the same size. Depending on the number of pages to arrange, the left most column of pages may have fewer pages than the others. This can be a nice feature if you want one full size area for working with the other pages on deck. Just drag a titlebar over another one to swap positions.

List Styles (in Rich Text Page Editor)

Hotkey	Ctrl+Shift+L
Editor right-click menu	Format->List Styles

The list style fiddle is available when the focus is in the rich text editor.

This fiddle cycles through seven available list and numbering styles.

Drag from one titlebar to another to swap page positions.

• None - No bullets or numbering. Normal text.
• Bullet - •
• Number - 1. 2. 3.
• Lowercase letter - a. b. c.
• Uppercase letter - A. B. C.

Hotkey	Ctrl+J
Editor right-click menu	Format->Align Left, Format->Align Center, etc.

The quadding fiddle is available when the focus is in the rich text editor.

This fiddle cycles through four standard text alignments: left, center, right, justified.
