Toolbar §

The toolbar is the row of buttons and toggles on top of the Editor window where you can access everything you need to use this tool. It’s divided into sections by horizontal double lines, so the different types of tools are separated into different groups.

The tools §

Going from left to right, the first group contains your actual tools:

• Brush (B) - Paint to the grid
• Picker tool (I) - Pick sprites or tiles from the grid
• Eraser (F) - Erase sprites from the grid
• Move tool (M) - Move a selection
• Selection tool (S) - Select an area
• Grid cell inspector (E) - Inspect a grid cell

Shortcuts

More common tools and actions can also be selected with Keyboard shortcuts.

Actions §

In the next group you have a few actions:

• Undo (Ctrl + Z) - Undoes your last action
• Redo (Ctrl + Y) - Redoes your last action
• Delete selection (Delete) - Deletes the area selected with the Selection tool
• Copy (Ctrl + C) - Copies the currently area selected with the Selection tool to the clipboard
• Paste (Ctrl + V) - Pastes the copied selection in. Pressing paste will show a preview of the area which you can move around with the Move tool. After you’re ready to paste the selection in you can press Escape or switch tools to confirm the action. You can press Delete to cancel the action.

Extra features §

The next group contains extra features, like:

• Lock selection (L) - Lock a selection to prevent it from accidentally editing it
• Unlock selection (U) - Unlocks a locked selection

Automation tools §

The last group on the left side of the toolbar contains tools that can help you get things done faster:

• Replace selection - Replace sprites and tiles in the selected area

Export options §

Going to the right side of the toolbar, on the top right corner you’ll find the Export options, where you can change the most important settings for the editor, like changing the Grid type. You can also change settings for exporting and of course you can find the export button here.

Settings §

Continuing to the left side you’ll find the settings group. You’ll find a few options for changing the appearance of the editor:

• Editor settings - Change settings of the editor grid and the editor windows
• Hide sprites - Hides the Sprites so you can see what Tile is under them
• Snap windows - Snap windows or allow them to be moved
• Show coordinates - Show the grid coordinates on the side of the editor
• Highlight modified cells - Highlight cells modified by the Grid cell inspector with a flashing outline

Sprite windows §

In the next section you’ll see one or two buttons, depending on your settings in the Export options. With the first button you can show or hide the Sprite drawer. The other button will show or hide the Sprite override settings. You can only have one window open at a time.

Extras §

The last group contains extras:
