Thanks for your reply Eric, I got a clear view now.

I've just tested Amaya for this functionality and it has something
similar, with "Ctrl + i g" it shows all applied styles and you can
click on them and it takes you to the code... very handy, I just
mention it as a side note.

Although I'm not a programmer I'll try to help on whatever I can while
I go through the use of Quanta, I just suscribed to the dev list too.

Thanks for your time and work :)
