Noted Bugs to Fix

ASCIIBIRD is mostly usable. There are some bugs however to note at the moment. Refreshing the page seems to fix most strange things.

Keyboard shortcuts can be pressed at the same time which makes bugs for undo and redo if you aren't careful!
Circle brush (works okay for odd width and height numbers)
Importer could be re-written with regex
Exporter will default transparent bg to black by default, which wont for some asciis
Having more than a few layers depending on ascii size will slow things down, until the fillNullBlocks is refactored.
The code that hides blocks off screen wont work if you scroll down, however it will work if you drag the canvas upward
Some work around layers and transparent blocks, skip drawing transparent bg block on top layers. Or get bg from lowest layer if bg is null on higher layers.
Select cannot select entire ASCII, is off by one at the end
- We could add a special clause for the select tool when mouse leaves canvas to select all blocks

Focusing on Now

Modals to add
- Asciibird options / Options modal from skgs PR
More Context Menus (right click menu)
- Brushes Canvas right click
- ASCII right click
Image overlay for trace mode
Review encodings check on file import - UTF8 vs Latin something
Revise the blocks system to only store what's changed

User Feedback Requests

Move brush with keys and space to paint
Improve the character panel, group chars

Fixed / Finished

Cannot manually input brush sizes because keyboard shortcuts is stealing focus
If you open a modal and refresh the page it's stuck as opened inside the state, and you cannot open it again
Toolbars and panels follow when scrolling down
Experimental code to only render blocks visible on screen
Rename Layers
