 +
 +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.
 +
 +===== Inline metafield editing =====
 +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 [[.config:playlist view:columns|columns configuration page]].
 +
 +==== Limitations ====
 +  * 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.
