 ### The layout editing command
 
 The editing starts with the open area of the entire workarea, takes commands to split the current area into multiple sub-areas, then recursively edits each of them.
-The editor is keyboard driven, each command is a key with at most 2 digits as parameters (A, B) before the command.
+The editor is keyboard driven, each command is a key with optional digits (namely `D`) before it as parameter (or multiple parameters depending on the command).
-Undefined parameters are (mostly) treated as 1.
 
 1. `Up`/`Down`: restore to the history command sequence
-2. `h`/`v`: split the current region horizontally/vertically into 2 regions. The split will respect the ratio A:B.
+2. `h`/`v`: split the current region horizontally/vertically into `#D` regions. The split will respect the ratio of digits in `D`.
-3. `w`: Take two parameters (A, B), and split the current region equally into A columns and B rows. If no parameter is defined, behave the same as `Space` without parameters.
+3. `w`: Take the last two digits from `D` as `D = ...AB` (1 if `D` is shorter than 2 digits), and split the current region equally into A rows and B columns. If no digits are provided at all, behave the same as `Space`.
-4. `s`: shift the current editing region with other open regions. If A is defined, shift for A times.
+4. `s`: shift the current editing region with other open regions. If digits are provided, shift for that many times.
-5. `Space` or `-`: Without parameters, close the current region and move to the next open region. With parameters, set the maximum depth of splitting (default is 2).
+5. `Space` or `-`: Without parameters, close the current region and move to the next open region. With digits, set the maximum depth of splitting (the default depth is 2).
 6. `Enter`/`.`: close all open regions. When all regions are closed, press `Enter` will save the layout and exit the editor.
 7. `Backspace`: undo the last command.
 8. `Escape`: exit the editor without saving the layout.
