Swept the help pages against the actual code paths and removed /
corrected claims that didn't ship.
vector-tools.md
- Removed: spacebar temp-pan, Alt duplicate-as-you-drag, generic
Shift-constrain.
- Added: verified shortcuts (Cmd+Z/Y/D/C/X/V/G, Cmd+]/[ with
Shift modifier, Cmd+J / Cmd+Alt+J in Pen edit mode,
Delete/Backspace for layers + anchors).
tool-select.md
- Removed Cmd+A (not wired), Alt-drag-duplicate (not wired),
Shift-constrain-axis drag (not wired), Cmd-click stack-walk
(not wired). Kept the verified marquee + multi-select.
tool-direct-select.md
- Re-wrote anchor / handle interactions to match the actual hit-
test branches (Alt-click anchor toggles kind in one click; Alt-
drag a handle breaks symmetry; Alt-click segment inserts an
anchor; plain drag of a segment bows it). Removed the "click an
endpoint to continue drawing" claim — that's a Pen-only flow.
tool-hand.md
- Removed every fictional zoom shortcut (Cmd+wheel, Cmd+0,
Cmd+= / Cmd+-). Documented the real zoom controls (−/+/Fit
buttons + dropdown in the canvas toolbar). Spacebar reposition
scoped correctly to the Pen tool only.
tool-pen.md
- Clarified that the Pen options pane has its own Fill / Stroke
inputs (separate from any "Stroke panel" that doesn't actually
exist).
tool-pencil.md
- Removed every claim that wasn't true: smoothing slider, Alt-drag
append, auto-close. Pencil writes a plain polyline (M…L L L…),
one layer per stroke. Tool options pane has only colour + width.
tool-shape.md
- Filled in the missing primitives (rounded-rect / circle /
triangle — total 8, not 5). Removed Shift / Alt drag modifiers
that aren't checked in startShapeDrag / commitShapeFromDrag.
Added the small-drag → default-size fallback that the code does
do.
tool-text.md
- Replaced the "drag a rectangle to size" claim with the actual
click-to-place behaviour (placeTextWithTool drops a fixed-size
box at the cursor + auto-flips to Select with the box focused).
Softened the Cmd+B/I/U claims to "browser native rich-text
shortcuts" since they're not wired in the app code.
tool-eyedropper.md
- Replaced the fictional "inline ⊙ buttons next to colour fields"
with the real OS-colour-picker eyedropper that Chrome's native
<input type="color"> shows.
panel-layers.md
- Removed Cmd+A select-all (not wired). Added Shift modifier to
Cmd+]/[ for bring-to-front / send-to-back. Clarified that
position units are inches in print modes, pixels in Custom Art
/ Slide / Deck (matches the unit toggle behaviour).

Adds a new "Vector tools" group to the in-app docs sidebar with one
page per toolbar tool + one page per supporting panel:
Toolbar tools (8):
- tool-select.md — Select (V): move/scale/rotate whole layers,
multi-select, marquee, dive-into-path
- tool-direct-select.md — Direct Selection (A): per-anchor edits,
handle break, segment-direct-edit
- tool-hand.md — Hand (H): pan + temp-pan via Spacebar,
plus zoom controls (which work from any
tool)
- tool-pen.md — Pen (P): full Illustrator parity —
Bézier draw, mid-draw spacebar reposition,
Alt handle-break, auto-add/delete anchors,
Cmd+J join, Cmd+Alt+J average
- tool-pencil.md — Pencil (B): freehand → smoothed Bézier
- tool-shape.md — Shape (S): rect/ellipse/polygon/star/line
primitives + Shift/Alt modifiers
- tool-text.md — Text (T): rich-text layer + Type panel
+ token notes
- tool-eyedropper.md — Eyedropper (I): window.EyeDropper sample +
inline ⊙ buttons + browser-support notes
Supporting panels (3):
- pathfinder.md — Unite/Subtract/Intersect/Exclude via the
vendored polygon-clipping
- align-distribute.md — six align ops + four distribute ops, with
behaviour around locked layers
- free-transform.md — multi-layer scale + rotate handles on
the selection bbox
Plus an overview page (vector-tools.md) with a keyed table of every
shortcut, a description of how the toolbar interacts with the Layers
panel, and the canvas-level keyboard shortcuts (Shift/Alt/arrow
nudges/Cmd+D/etc).
All linked into _DOCS_TOPICS as a new "Vector tools" group, ordered
after the existing Template-mode layouts section.
