Use CTRL + Mouse Wheel to modify the small numbers for Health, Sanity, Stability.

This works to increase the number in the box (current value), but not the small number above it (Max value). And in any case the numbers can't be raised high enough to match the numbers on the sheet. I'm gonna see if I can figure that out.

CTRL+Mousewheel should work on the little number to the top right of the box too. Just be precise on where the mouse cursor is.

We weren't able to get something to act like a weapon. Does the ruleset support the idea of dropping an "attack roll" on the target to see if you hit it (comparing it to Hit Threshold)? Or is combat mostly manual? I am OK with manual, but it'd be good to know and I don't know how to tell!

From memory there wasnt much in the way of Combat Tracker automation. Possibly none...

chatty, I figured it out: create Modifiers, as pictured in the screen shot. You can then click on them as appropriate. You can see they stack as they should with pool spends. (My terminology doesn't necessarily square with game terms, but you get the idea.)
Edit: One of the modified rolls depicted in my example image don't accurately follow GUMSHOE rules (you don't add weapon damage to a to hit roll), but this can all be done properly; see post #101 in this thread.
