One stand-out feature is how easy it is to create new kits in Slate

It really is.

However I have one suggestion that would make it even easier.

Every time I want a new slate kit it always seems to take me forever to find the right three dots to initialise the patch.

If there was an INIT patch command directly in the browser after you double click after adding a new slate track this would make it much easier. Creating new slate kits isn’t something I do every time I use slate, but every time I do use slate I have to go hunting for those dots ;-)

@klownshed It's very easy - just save empty kit with name "Default" - next time you add Slate to project it will be automacally loaded with this empty kit, so you don't need to initialise it at all

Same works with Obsidian, if tou save parch named "Default" it will be automatically loaded for every new Obsidian instance

Ah ok cool, thanks.

I had actually tried making an empty KIt named it INIT instead but then ended up with a kit called INiT that wasn’t initialised

Default empty kit now works. Ta.
