3.7.3. Editing the clues

 
Clues are edited in the Clues panel on the right-hand side of the main window.
 
To edit the clue for the currently selected word, select the Edit > Edit clue menu, or press the button on the Toolbar, or use the Ctrl + K hotkey. The corresponding clue will be focused in the edit mode:

You can then type in the clue and press Enter or click outside of the edit field to fix it. Press Esc to leave without fixing the clue. In the figure below, the clue has been fixed (saved):

If you'd like to clear a clue, just double-click on it in the Clues panel and press Delete or Backspace to clear its content, then fix it with Enter.
 
You can use the Up and Down arrow keys on your keyboard to select the clues one by one, press Ctrl + K to enter the edit mode, type in the next clue and press the Up / Down arrow key to move to the next clue, and so on. Notice that the Crossword grid is synchronized with the Clues panel: you can select words in either of these, and the same word is selected / highlighted in the other. The Ctrl + K hotkey is global, so you can use it to edit clues regardless of the currently focused control (grid or panel).
 
The Clues panel is configured by default to highlight blank and completed clues using different colors (in the above examples, the red background color is used for blank clues and words and green is used for completed clues / words). This behavior, as well as other visual options, can be customized in Settings > User interface > Clues.
