Another area of the playlist you can see is the columns titles.

• Click a column title
  Sorts by that column, in reverse order if already sorted by that column.
• Drag column title
  Moves the column to the location you drag the title to.

When not in auto-sizing columns mode, these actions are also available:

• Drag a column title divider
  Resizes that column.
• Double click on a column divider
  Makes that column resize to the minimum possible width so that all its items are visible.

If mouse activated inline metafield editing is enabled, you can left-click on a selected track to enter inline-metafield editing mode. The F2 key also enters this mode, when the playlist has the keyboard focus.

In this mode, the following actions are available:

• Pressing ESCAPE will exit this mode, cancelling any changes to the current field.
• Pressing ENTER will save changes and exit this mode.
• Pressing TAB will save changes and advance to the next field.
• Holding CTRL and pressing TAB will save changes and move to the preceding field.
• Holding CTRL and pressing ENTER will insert a newline.
• Pressing UP or DOWN will navigate up or down a line within the field.
• Clicking anywhere outside of the edit field will save changes and exit this mode.

Metafield assignments are done in the columns configuration page.

• For items with multiples values for the same metafield, currently only the first value will be edited. This may be overcome in the future by using a separating character such as ;.
• There is currently no multi-item edit mode.
