ChadEdit User Guide

• By default ChadEdit snaps the top left corner of a button or frame to the

nearest grid location. However, you can instruct ChadEdit to snap to any

corner or the center of a button or frame using the Snap Mode submenu

of the Grid submenu. Note that the snap mode does not affect resizing,

only placement or moving.

• To make the current grid of panel A the current grid of panel B: make the

current grid of panel A default grid 9 (or any other unused grid, we just

picked 9 for this example), close panel B, open panel B, and select grid 9.

• To move an entire grid, hold down a SHIFT key and use the mouse or the

cursor UP or DOWN key to move the grid.

• Use the Export Grids or Import Grids items in the Files menu to export

or import the default grids to or from a text file. This allows you to keep

your grids with your CCFs and makes it easier to make changes to your

CCFs afterwards.

Grids are not stored in CCFs.

How can I better select in a panel view?

Here are some tips that can help you select the right button or frame when a panel contains many elements:

• If a button or frame is selected and the move or resize cursor is visible

when you press the left mouse button, the selection does not change.

Therefore, clicking on a button in a selected frame does not select that

button. If you want to select the topmost button or frame at the cursor location,

press the ESC key before pressing down the left mouse button. Pressing

the ESC key will always deselect the current selection.

• Press the TAB key to select the next sibling of the selected button or frame.

Hold down a SHIFT key while pressing the TAB key to select the previous

sibling of the selected button or frame.

• Use the zoom feature to get a better view of what you are selecting.

How can I make ChadEmulator faster?

If you find ChadEmulator a little slow you can make it faster by changing the shape of ChadEmulator’s window

into a rectangle. To do this, right click on ChadEmulator’s window to activate its pop-up menu, and select

Transparent.
