broke up the workflow? um, you just added the requirement for an extra 
buttonclick.
I already forget half the time that I have to left-click a trigger before I 
can change it :)

changing "input here" to "press key" doesn't remove the need for explanatory 
text... sadly, it highlights the need for it, because you don't choose a 
*mouse* trigger by simply pressing a *key*.

hiding the text until the add-button is clicked would probably be for the 
best, though.

I'm still left without ideas as to how to improve the explanatory text itself. 
:(
