TBC Tip: Form Clicks for Productivity

I've learned quite a lot about TBC since my last post in January and have a backlog of tips and techniques to record here, no doubt I've already forgotten a few, but they should come back to mind eventually.

A trick I've learned only this week helps when working with Class and Resource Forms. When in a Form view, an alternative to pulling down and selecting the "Add empty row" menu item one can simply double click on the property label. For example when adding subclass constraints you may double click the "rdfs:subClassOf" label and an empty row appears. This saves some mouse work, still I'd like to see the "Insert" key do the same.

Another trick can simplify adding new properties to a form. In addition to dragging and dropping a property onto a form, you can right-click the form background and receive a list of applicable properties. Depending where you click on the form (Annotation, Axiom, or Other Properties sections) you get a context sensitive list of properties.

Less mousing around, more modeling, good stuff!
