No possibility to add space on top

Open Lebostein opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

I used the new version with copy and paste buttons (I couldn't imagine life with the editor without these buttons). Problem: I would like to add the letters ä, ö and ü required for my country. So I copied the "u" and pasted it into slot 0xFC, where the "ü" is located: Bildschirmfoto 2024-10-26 um 14 57 29 Now I need space on top for the dots. But the only way to get more space is to press "Rows [+]" which, however, adds empty lines at the bottom: Bildschirmfoto 2024-10-26 um 14 59 25Bildschirmfoto 2024-10-26 um 15 03 26

I seems there is no possibility to "roll" down the character on the canvas or have I overlooked a possibility? I would have assumed that this is a typical use case for the editor.

Hi @Lebostein 👋🏼

Interesting use case! This is not possible as-is as the editor was originally envisioned more as a way to edit / finely tune an already existing font, not to create new characters a bit from scratch.

Would you be able to make a PR for it? I'd imagine we could toggle up/down adding by clicking in the middle of the "Rows" button (same for Cols, by the way)?

PS: the copy/paste is PR is lagging in terms of commit. I'll resync it and merge it soon

That would be great! PS: I have never created a PR. Somehow I can't get any further on the page. I'll have a look at it when I get the chance.

Hey there

Did you get around to have a PR ready in the end?
