Here are the details:

Visualize Your Controls
- Snaps are snapshots of cards shown in tRev's Object Browser.
- Snaps can be turned on or off via a Column Button called Snap.
- Snap buttons are beneath the Object Browser's Cards and Controls  
columns

Get to Editing Faster
- Click a line item in Controls to place orange rect around the  
control in card's Snap.
- Click a control in a Snap and its line item in Controls list hilites.
- Double-click any control in the Snap to edit it in tRev.
- Hold down shift to inspect its properties in Rev.

Look, Mom—No Mouse!
- Typing return or enter is the same as double-clicking a Snap's  
control.
- Use the arrow keys to navigate the Controls list and work mouse-less.
- Your mother will be proud. Fathers are harder to please.

Safety, Power, Convenience
- When you click on a Snap to select a control, it cannot be moved or  
altered—only edited.
- Click an invisible control in the list and you will see its rect in  
the Snap.
- Click an off-screen control in the list and you will see its rect in  
the Snap if it's nearby.
- Click a disabled control in the Snap and it will become selected in  
the list.

Gather Images for Documentation
- Shift-click a Snap and it gets saved to your clipboard as a JPEG.
- Entire image of the card is included with a gray 1 pixel border.
- You'll get visual (flash) and aural (shutter sound) feedback  
indicating the card's image was clipped.

Quick Keys
- Single keystroke shortcuts for Object Browser are now called Quick  
Keys.
- Quick Key for turning Snap on or off is p as in 'snap a picture' of  
a card.
- Quick Key for Snap works when either Cards or Controls column is  
active.

Your Brain on Snaps
- With Snaps you can use both sides of your brain: spatial and  
analytical.
- Anecdotal evidence indicate an effect approximating hedonic  
hypersynchrony.

Best,

Jerry Daniels
