Replay Editor: Explain what blue means

[Simon]

NL-CE 1.0.1

The replay editor (what I call tweaker in Lix) sometimes prints some lines in blue (rather than black). I didn't find explanation anywhere in the program about what that blue means.

Ideas:

• Introduce a new column for this the information. You can still keep the blue if you want.
  
• Write static explanatory text in the tweaker.
  
• Ditch the information altogether?
  

It feels unsettling without at least one of these.


Speculation: It means that the assignment entered the replay during insert mode.

The support for this is the weak connection by color to the blue R in the panel. The meaning of the blue R is similarly mysterious, the program conveys information only by color without explanation. At least, the blue R had the connection to the hotkey that you mapped yourself by functionality name and then pressed.

If I'm right and a blue line really means that this assignment was added during insert mode: I draw moderate benefit from of it. Over half the replay ends up blue in complicated levels. After entering insert mode, I stay in insert mode all the time until I have to click air to cut. At least it gives some random structure to the list for finding assignments by eye.

If you stay in insert mode and fast-forward physics past the end of the replay, then assign more skills, these new assignments are still blue, even though you couldn't see the blue R in the panel.
