    Quick suggestion which should prevent misuse of people's google maps API keys: Can we make it so that it's hidden away behind some settings? So that it's not directly visible in cleartext every time you toggle the google maps overlay on or off?

    This is just to make it safer for people to stream their editor work :)

    Click on the empty arrow, it minimises the Connection properties

    Yes I had to redact mine before posting a screenshot for someone showing where to put it. In good old TSC you actually input the API key in a subsection of the user settings. Perhaps a slight redesign of the interface needed here, as what worked in a closed group is not necessarily suitable for a more public editor.
