Nice! I'd actually been wanting to have this functionality myself, but I was always reminded that I lacked it at times when I was too busy to do anything about it.

I'll try to test your patch out and get it merged later today.

Also, I like your illustrations. Simple, yet easy on the eyes. If I were to start putting together a command reference page for the QuickTile site, how many more (if any) would would you have time to make?

(It wouldn't be difficult for me to replicate the style... I just don't have the time right now.)

Here are some more illustrations: https://github.com/stygstra/quicktile-diagrams. I'll probably make more later.

Merged. Sorry for the delay. Some unexpected stuff came up.

OK, sorry for taking so long (stuff is still happening), but I put together a basic command reference:

http://ssokolow.com/quicktile/commands.html

When I have more time, I'll improve it but, for now, it has all of the commands listed and I've credited you in the page footer for the diagrams. If you look at the git history, you'll see that I actually merged the history from your quicktile-diagrams repository in as a subfolder.

I also had to rework your Makefile a bit. I switched to using Inkscape to render the PNGs (because ImageMagick didn't look as nice), added OptiPNG and AdvanceCOMP stages (which shave off over 40% of the size of each PNG file), and un-ignored the PNGs so they could be committed to the gh-pages branch for use in the site.

(I'd actually have used the raw SVGs in the site, given browser support for them these days, but I didn't have time to fix the font rendering.)

Nice! Don't worry about the delays, it's no big deal.
