Had a quick look on 2018.12.10:

Tilter+

 

The T+ icon does nothing UNLESS an empty track is enabled, in which case it applies a titler+ effect to the empty track (between marks if there are any)

 

Once effect is applied:

 

Typing does nothing (well normal keyboard shortcuts apply)

 

Clicking in record monitor and typing does nothing (keyboard shortcuts ignored)

 

Click 'add text field' turns arrow cursor to I bar and enables clicking in record monitor - bounding box appears, typing now results in caption appearing.

 

Bounding box can be dragged by corner (retains aspect ratio) or horizontal or vertical edges (aspect ratio altered). Doesn't appear to be a constraining key to keep aspect ratio (really how often do you want to adjust aspect ratio of text?).

 

There are two bounding boxes - one has dashed lines, the other 'containing box' has unbroken line. Seems to correspond to the 'Frame' section of the effect editor.

 

Adjusting bounding box (to increase font size) is reflected in the 'translate' section of the Layer. Although horizontal maxes at 999.0, despite adjustment still being possible.

 

Shift up/down arrow selects next layer within selected container.

Shift left/right expands/contracts layer selection

 

Up/down/left right arrow moves layer (or container) up / down / left / right

 

Edit / Clear all - removes all text layers.

 

Select Next/Previous Layers / Word / Row - means arrow keys revert to normal function, not text editing. (Need to use Cmd+4 to select record monitor and then arrows affect text selection).

 

'Caption' box reflects text entry, text entry not updated with caption box though.

 

Leaving this until I really *have* to use it.
