Tips

You can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+S to quickly save your config while in the Config Editor.

While designing a config, you will notice a rectangle outlining your entire config. If this rectangle is green then performance should be optimal. If its red then performance might degrade (although most high-spec computers these days will probably not be affected). Try not to spread your config over a very large area. It sometimes helps to run mutiple clients that each display in a different area of your desktop.

Clicking on the Samurize tray icon with a single left mouse button click will make Samurize hide and pause. Clicking it again will return to normal. Useful before playing games :)

You can define global hotkeys (such as Ctrl+Alt+R) to reload, toggle the tray icon and pause Samurize on the Project panel of the Config Editor.
