Renaming, moving and resizing

Three small changes you'll make constantly, and the one column none of them apply to.

Renaming#

Open the column's ⋯ menu and choose Rename. The header turns into an input. Press Enter to commit the new name or Escape to restore the previous name.

Double-click the header itself to skip the menu.

Moving#

Drag a column header sideways and drop it where you want it. If you'd rather not drag, the ⋯ menu has Move left and Move right, which shift the column one place at a time.

Resizing#

Hover over the right edge of a header until a blue line appears, then drag. Columns can be between 60 and 600 pixels wide. The new width is saved when you release the mouse button.

Order and width belong to the view you are in, except on the Main Table where they change the board.

If the view is locked, layout changes are refused with "This view is locked. Unlock it before making changes." Unlock it from the view's ⋯ menu first.
