New tag

A tag names a run of frames (an animation): it plays on its own, exports as its own GIF, and game engines read it from the spritesheet's .json.

Parallax: how fast the layer moves in the ⇆ parallax preview. 0 = stays put (a sky), 100% = moves with the ground, more = passes in front.

Keyboard shortcuts

They start as Aseprite's. Click one and press the new key (Esc: cancel, Backspace: no key). Always there: Space + drag to move around, Alt+click to pick a colour, Shift while drawing for straight lines, Shift / Alt when selecting to add / take away, Esc and Enter for a selection, the arrow keys to nudge it.
