Notes:
* Users of Firefox
that have AdBlock Plus installed as a browser extension can't
use the Ctrl + Shift + V shortcut to 'paste stencils in place'
because it is used by the extension. To release it, go to about:config and
change the extensions.adblockplus.sidebar_key property to an empty string.
** Projects
are auto-saved automatically so that, usually you don't need to save them manually.
