Auto Repeat Mode

Ensign Windows has an Auto Repeat Mode for some of the draw tools.  Auto repeat mode is where the draw tool will continue to be drawn with mouse clicks without needing to reselect the draw tool button.  The mode is deselected by clicking on the chart background or clicking on the cursor button on the draw toolbar.  The three draw tool buttons with the digits 1, 2 and 3 have the auto repeat mode.

The configuration for which tool the buttons draw is made on the SetUp | Toolbars panel.

The drop down box gives 9 choices for configuring the 3 auto repeat draw tool buttons.  In this example the 1st button has been configured to draw the Fibonacci tool.  The 2nd button has been configured to draw the Fib Retrace tool.  The 3rd button draws the Circle tool.

Each button will use a particular tab for its draw tool properties.   Button 1 will always use the parameters from tab 1 on the tool's property form.  Button 2 will use the parameters from tab 2, and button 3 uses the parameters from tab 3.  Thus, the three buttons could be configured to draw the same draw tool and yet have unique parameters for each button.

The Hints for the auto repeat buttons will show the name of the tool the buttons are configured to draw.
