When you double-click any object (or group of objects) in the Screen Editor, the Object Properties window is launched, allowing you to configure the selected object's settings. The content of this dialog window varies according to the specific object/animation that is being edited. However, there is always a pin button in the left upper corner of this dialog window:

The pin button looks like this
when it is released, and like this
when it is pressed.
When the pin button is released, the focus is passed to the object on the screen as soon as that object is selected. Therefore, we recommend you keep this button released when you want to manipulate (copy, paste, cut or delete) the objects. Although the Object Properties window is on the top, the keyboard commands (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+X or Del) are sent directly to the objects.
When the pin button is pressed the focus is kept on the Object Properties window, even when you click the objects on the screen. We recommend you keep this button pressed when you want to modify the settings of the objects. You can click an object and type the new property value directly in the Object Properties window (it is not necessary to click on the window to bring focus to it). Also, when the pin button is pressed, the Object Properties window does not automatically close when you click on the screen.
