Panel Overview
Limitations
Currently, the script has a list of limitations required for its correct work:- Keyboards only support English language and QWERTY layout.
- Typing text layers only support left-to-right languages.
- Typing text layers should be left aligned.
- Cursor may not work properly with BoxText layers(that is, when you drag out an area with the Type tool and type inside that area). Use regular Text layers instead.
