Uses same shortcuts as Photoshop -- so if you are a hard-core kerner in Photoshop, try out the same keys. Pretty slick!

Ah, that's quite clever! Upload as svg and let people kern the letters. Right now I'm using it to get people interested in my upcoming project [Method of Action]( http://method.ac/ ), an online course on design for programmers.
