When the configuration area is focused, you can transfer the focus back to the list of form components
with the keyboard by pressing ALT-F1.
The list of form components provides the following actions in the toolbar on the right that operate on the current selection. You can also access these actions from the context menu or use the associated keyboard shortcuts.
[Delete] action. The deleted
form components cannot be restored.
[Rename] action.
The default name is still displayed in brackets after the custom name. To revert to the
default, just enter an empty custom name in the rename dialog.
[Add Comments] action.
When a comment is added, the affected form components will receive a "Comments" tab.
After adding a comment to a single form component, the comment area is focused automatically.
Likewise, you can remove comments from one or more form components with the
[Remove Comments] action.
In order to visit all comments, you can use the [Show next comment] and [Show previous comment] actions. These actions will focus the comment area automatically and wrap around if no further comments can be found.
[Disable] action. The
configuration of the disabled form components will not be displayed, their
entries in the list of form components will be shown in gray and they will not be checked
for errors when the project is built.
[Cut] or
[Copy]
form components to the clipboard and
[Paste] them in the same or a different instance

[Preview] button which is
also available on the property page of a screen. The preview does not show the actual screen,
it shows an installer window with typical elements and a form that fills the entire content area of the screen.
The actual screen might have a different visual appearance and the form might be smaller. However, the layout
of the form itself will be the same at runtime.
