Typing Flow and Elements
Plotbot wants you to find typing your screenplay to be an easy, intuitive experience. You should be able to type without lifting a hand for your mouse.
To this end, Plotbot will make an educated assumption about what element type you'll type next, while making it easy to choose a different element. The typing tool follows these Element relationships:
* Slugline to Action
* Action to Action
* Dialogue to Dialogue
For example, if you're typing dialogue, once you hit submit, you'll jump straight into another dialogue element. If you're looking to type another element instead (give us some action with that dialogue!), you can simply tab to ACTION or SLUGLINE and move forward.
