EDAPT Commands panel

Functionality

Interactive, customizable panel, providing button access to EDAPT Commands.
It also allows creating buttons for non-EDAPT user-defined commands.

Suggested use

An always-on-screen button-based alternative to using EDAPT Shortcuts to access EDAPT Commands. Faster, more intuitive and user-friendly option than choosing commands via the Commands menu.

Users can configure the panel to their liking, showing only the buttons for the commands they need.
They can also 'buttonize' non-EDAPT commands and access those visually as well.

Modifier key(s) can be pressed and held down before clicking a button in the EDAPT Commands panel. This will call the alternative modes of the particular command, if such are available.
Example: Holding down [ Alt ] while clicking on the Create Magnet Target Or Center Marker button will create a Center Marker.

Where does it work?

Initial selection before pressing a button varies, depending on the particular command's functionality.

Buttons, Dropdowns

On hover [ ··· ] appears at the right side of each button. By clicking on it users can change button's text, description and color.

The [ ··· ] at the bottom-right of the panel displays a pop-up menu from which users can add any command as a button to the panel (+ Add Command…). They can also customize the arrangement of the buttons, remove unnecessary entries, save or load presets.

User-defined commands

Adding a custom user-defined command requires one to browse and select the desired JSFL file. Commands can be located anywhere on the user's system, but in most cases they reside in the Commands folder within Configuration.
