A story selected through several of its frames or through a group is changed once, and other type keeps its formatting (VectorCraft's own behavior; `panels::character::tests::selection_tool_changes_reach_every_frame_of_the_story`, `selection_tool_fields_read_every_frame_of_the_story`, `selected_stories_list_each_frame_once`, `panels::paragraph::tests::selection_tool_paragraph_changes_reach_every_frame_of_the_story`, `panels::tabs::tests::selection_tool_tab_stops_reach_every_frame_of_the_story`).

   - While the Type tool edits text, a character typed with AltGr is typed and runs no command. Firefox on Windows reports AltGr as Ctrl and Alt held, so in the web build AltGr+L (ł on a Polish layout) does not also open Layer Options for a new layer, and AltGr+Q (@ on a German layout) does not also run Reset Tracking and Kerning. A Ctrl+Alt chord that types no character runs its command.
   - On a layout without Latin letters, a one-key shortcut goes by the position of the key that typed the character, in the web build too, where the character arrives before its key press: on a Russian layout the P key (`з`) chooses the Pen, and two keys pressed in one frame each run their own shortcut.
