Underneath DEVICES is a list of devices, and underneath MACRO GROUPS is a list of macro groups.
Underneath HOME, every device and every macro group is a property item and a list of panels. The property
item underneath HOME provides access to the USR-5 system properties, and the property item underneath a
device or macro group provides access to the properties of that device or macro group.
Included in these properties are the definitions of the direct-access and left/right keys.

Introduction
What is ChadEdit?
ChadEdit is the visual editor for USR-5 configurations. A USR-5 configuration fully defines a USR-5 user
interface including all devices, macro groups, panel layouts, button appearances, and button, direct-access and
left/right key behaviors (including all IR codes). ChadEdit always has a single configuration open, the current
configuration. See What is a CCF? for more information on USR-5 configuration files.
ChadEdit provides two complementary views on the current configuration. On the left side of
ChadEdit’s main window you’ll find the configuration view, a typical tree view of the overall structure of the
current configuration. At the top level of this tree view you’ll find HOME, DEVICES and MACRO GROUPS.
These top levels are associated with the home section, the right hand side device menu and the left hand side
macro group menu on your USR-5.
