Rotation Keys

F5

F6

F7

F8

Use these four keys to rotate the current tile (or selected tiles) incrementally within the current Base Factor.

  • The two outer keys (F5 and F8) rotate in full-steps counter-clockwise and clockwise respectively.

  • The two inner keys (F6 and f7) rotate in half-steps counter-clockwise and clockwise respectively.

Rotation Modifiers

Shift

Double the effects

Ctrl

Triple the effects

Use the rotation modifiers  to multiply the effects of the rotation keys.   This reduces the skewing effects of multiplied rotations, caused by TileDreams need to perform trigonometric functions using whole-numbers.

Reposition Keys

I

J

K

M

These keys are arranged as points on a compass, and will move any selected tiles in increments of 5 pixels. 

  • Hold the key down for a controlled vertical or horizontal drag.

  • Hold the [Shift] key down to move selected tiles one pixel at a time.

Command Shortcuts

Ctrl-C Copy selected tiles

Ctrl-X Cut selected tiles

Ctrl-V Paste selected tiles.  You will need to click the display area to tell TileDreams where you want to paste, but will probably want to reposition it with the mouse and/or keyboard.

Ctrl-A    Select all tiles

Ctrl-T    Select all tiles that match the current tile

Ctrl-Z    Undo the last action
