Computer-implemented design tool functions are described herein for recognizing organized collections of objects in a design layout, and providing controls to manipulate, in a selected organized collection, individual objects and arrangements of multiple objects. In an embodiment, a computing device determines whether an arrangement of selected objects in a design layout satisfies certain criteria, and if so, the computing device recognizes the arrangement as an organized collection, and provides controls within a selected organized collection to perform various operations to manipulate an individual object within the selected organized collection while automatically and dynamically modifying the organized collection to maintain desired uniformity in the collection.

Inline content item editor commands are provided. An implementation allows a user to initiate various functions related to a content item being edited by entering a command expression inline with the content of the content item being edited. The manner of editor function initiation saves the user time and effort and reduces cognitive burden on the user because it does not require the user to change input modes (e.g., from keyboard to mouse) or change input areas (e.g., from a content item editing area to a distant toolbar or context menu) in order to initiate the function and, if applicable, provide parameters to the function.
