Settings

You may customize the default settings of TEdit by editing the settings.xml file.

App

Size

If you wish to change TEdit's default size when launched, edit the <App> Width and Height values.

Steam Cloud

In an upcoming release: When opening and saving worlds, TEdit defaults to your local world's folder. If you use Steam Cloud to save your worlds, you may uncomment the <SteamUserId> setting and TEdit will default to your Steam Cloud location. If you have more than one Steam user on your computer, you will need to explicitly set your Steam UserID. Example: <SteamUserId>12345</SteamUserId>

It is highly recommended you exit the Terraria game, not just the player/world, before editing Steam Cloud games with TEdit. Make sure you understand how TEdit manages Saves and Backups.

Shortcut Keys

The default keys for shortcuts are defined in the lines between <ShortCutKeys>...</ShortCutKeys>. For example:

<Shortcut Key="A" Tool="Arrow" />

By changing the "A" in the example above, you can change the shortcut key for the Arrow tool to another key.

Tools

The default settings for different Tools are defined in the lines between ...

Paint Mode

<Tool Name="Paint" Mode="Tile" />

Valid Paint Modes are Tile, Wall, TileAndWall, Wire and Liquid.

Tiles, Walls, Masks

<Tool Name="Tile" Tile="0" Mask="0" Mode="Off" /> <Tool Name="Wall" Wall="0" Mask="0" Mode="Off" /> You can change the default Tiles, Walls and Masks by changing the bolded values above. You can get those values by looking at the dropdowns within the tool.
