Top Bar

The Top Bar runs across the top of every window. It can't be moved, split or closed. From left to right: the menus, Undo and Redo, then on the right the test buttons, Refresh and the window buttons.

A menu item that has a keyboard shortcut displays its keys on its right. Shortcuts are changed in Settings > Shortcuts (see Shortcuts). File

See Saved Layouts. Help Documentation opens the Documentation window. See Documentation Window. Undo and Redo Undo and Redo revert and reapply the last edit of the Dialogue. Right-click either one to list every step. See Undo and Redo. Test and Refresh

• The arrow button opens the menu that sets where a test starts.
• Test exports the Dialogue and runs it in the Godot editor. Ctrl+click only exports.
• Refresh scans your project's folders again, to list the files added since the profile opened.

See Testing. Window Buttons The three buttons at the right end minimize the window, maximize it, and close it.

• In the main window, closing quits Candy Dialogue Creator, like File > Quit.
• In another window, closing only closes that window.

Both ask first. The profile's settings and layout are saved when Candy Dialogue Creator quits. The Dialogue is not: save it first.
