+- Implemented support for JSON schema validation, powered by `ajv`. A JSON
+  schema can be configured via the option `schema` or the method `setSchema`.
 - Added a minimalist bundle to the `dist` folder, excluding `ace` and `ajv`.
 - Fixed an error throw when switching to mode "code" via the menu.
+- Fixed interfering shortcut keys: changed quick keys to select multiple fields
+  from `Shift+Arrow Up/Down` to `Ctrl+Shift+Arrow Up/Down`.
