The map editor gets a left-side tool rail, editable walls and tokens, openable doors, keyboard shortcuts and one-step undo for destructive actions.

The old map editor was a demo. The rail is now on the left, and selecting something gives you actions after placing it.

The map editor

The rail has Select, Pan, Token, Wall, Light and Measure. Click a wall or token after placing it and edit it in place. Placeables can be rotated, locked and reordered. Walls and lights now have stable ids.

Doors open and close. Only GMs can operate them. Players do not receive the wall geometry. Manual fog stays visible when computed vision is active.

Undo and shortcuts

cmd Z and the Undo action on a destructive-change toast take back one of your own removals. Undo is server-side, per user, one step, and destructive actions only. A second destructive action replaces the first.

The ? popover lists the editor shortcuts. They only work while the map has focus. Chat input remains normal text input.
