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).

Pencil tool (B)
Freehand drawing. Your pointer's path is sampled as a polyline of
line segments — each stroke becomes its own shape (path) layer.
Drawing
- Click + drag to draw. Release to commit.
- The resulting layer is a vector
shape(path kind) — same underlying data model as a Pen path, so you can edit it with Direct Selection afterwards (drag individual anchors, bow segments, etc).
Tool options
The right-side Tool options pane has two inputs:
- Stroke colour — the line colour.
- Stroke width — in pixels.
Both apply at draw time. They're separate from any selected layer's stroke settings.
Tips
- Pencil strokes are stored as line-to segments (no smoothing in v1). For a smoothed curve, draw with the Pen tool instead and pull tangent handles where you want curves.
- Each release creates a new layer — for multi-stroke sketches you can group the layers later via the Layers panel.
- Trackpad input gives you smoother visual motion than a mouse, but the underlying path stays a polyline either way.
