hk's list

• Complex select tool
• Editor masking (masked cells will be ignored in edits and selections)
• Inverse playback range when start frame > end frame
• Way to apply delay to all frames in playback range
• Insert/replace toggle
• When pasting from outside of durdraw, align left edge of text on starting column (i.e. the same behavior as when pasting from within durdraw)
• Fonts - TheDraw, Figlet, TrueType, etc.
• Menus that work in too-small-of-a-terminal (I'm thinking manual scrolling for list items, hover-scrolling for item names, and submenus laid over parent menus instead of placed next to them.)
