Sometimes you want one line and nothing else, like a neck between a body and a head. Synapse’s sky does that with two clicks.
Click two stars
- Select the two layers. With a Synapse selected, its layers show as stars too, so you only need to select a layer that isn’t in it yet.
- Click the first layer’s star in Synapse’s sky. It turns blue and the caption reads Pick a second star.
- Click the second layer’s star.
While a star waits for its partner, the hint line reads Click another star to link the two. Hover a star to see its layer's name.
A hollow star is a selected layer that isn't in the selected Synapse yet.
Synapse adds the line and says Linked two layers in Synapse. To cancel instead, click the blue star again or press Escape.
Which Synapse gets the line
- A Synapse is selected and the line goes into it.
- No Synapse is selected and one of the two layers is already in a Synapse, so the line goes into that one.
- Neither applies and Synapse makes a new Synapse with just this line.
If the two layers are already linked in that Synapse, nothing changes and Synapse says Those two are already linked.
Without the sky
In a narrow slot the sky is hidden. Right-click Chain instead. It links the first two layers you selected, the same way.
