Controls and shortcuts
Specifying the topic you want to publish your message on will automatically infer its schema name and populate the text field with a JSON message template.
Clicking into the schema name field will provide a dropdown list of common ROS schemas. Selecting a schema will also populate the text field with a JSON message template.
Edit the template to customize the message you want to send back to your ROS stack, before hitting "Publish".
With the JSON editor focused, press Ctrl + Enter (Windows and Linux) or Cmd + Enter (macOS) to publish the message. Enter always inserts a new line.
The "Publish" button is disabled until you connect to a data source that supports publishing.
