- 2Arrow points at it
- 3Text writes a label, with the border colour as its background
- 4Blur hides a key, an e-mail or a path: when you save, those pixels are destroyed
- 5The two colours (border and fill) and the thickness apply to the next mark
- 6Ctrl+Z undoes a mark; Clear markup erases them all
