Using the Magic Key
The 'Magic Key' is a hotkey which provides alternate functionality when manipulating content, dependent on the content type. It can be used with new components, or components already placed on the canvas.
Using it is simple:
- Hold down the Magic Key (
Cmdon MacOS /Ctrlon Windows) then select and drag a component - With the Magic Key activated, a tooltip is displayed informing you what action will be performed if the component is dropped.
In the below example, you can see how dragging a component highlights dropzones, until we activate the 'Magic Key'. The highlight and tooltip then shows us we can now set the text block to 'Intro'.
