Map Location Keys

With this extension you can add "location keys" to a map, which usually contain descriptions of a particular room or feature.
Location Keys can be kept private to the GM or shared with players using the player visibility feature.
You only need to add a text item to the map, ideally one or two characters long, eg: 1, 5a, B2, etc.
Then using the context menu you can add it to the Location Keys. Now, using the drawer menu you can see a default description has been added for that item, but you can edit it as you like.
The description supports Markdown and there are Import/Export features for handling several locations at a time. You can also add player-specific information and control which location keys are visible to players.
The idea here is to reduce tab switching between OBR and wherever your map descriptions are. With a little prep you can add the descriptions to OBR, ideally in a summarised form, and have a smoother experience.
