The command list

On the right hand side of the picture editor is the command list. It shows the commands around the current position in the editor. It can be used to move to another position by clicking on a command.

Deleting commands

Here you can select multiple commands and delete them, or crop all commands after a particular point.

Copying and pasting commands

More interestingly, you can also copy commands from here, and paste them into other pics - even in other running instances of SCI Companion - so you can copy and paste commands from one game into another.

It takes some practise to select the correct set of commands to copy. Generally it is best to click on the command you want to start with, and then progressively scroll down the list and use the SHIFT-click to find the end command. Then click Copy at the top of the command list.

When you paste a series of commands, they will be added to the pic in a special mode that allows you to reposition them. You may see strange behaviour as you move the drawing commands around the screen, but that is due to the vector nature of the commands.
