@bruce33,

To delete the configuration file (QelectroTech.conf), that is the correct solution.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Your help here is greatly appreciated.

(how to mark this discussion [SOLVED!]  ???)

@scorpio810,
This is very helpful. Much thanks for your response.

What I see is that there is an "Orientation" menu choice for terminals.

There seems to be no such choice for other entities (lines, polygons, ellipse etc).
Is this correct?

So terminals may be rotated (orientation may be edited).
Other entities must be originally drawn with the desired orientation, correct?
(or, to revise the orientation, simply delete and re-draw with the desired orientation)

Thank you in advance for your attention.

@scorpio810,

Thank you for this helpful response.

And now I realize..
I lack knowledge of the protocols used on github to maintain this body of documentation. (I do have git installed however)

Before I can have the possibility to offer such a contribution, I must first gain some education in this area.
I will endeavor to do so.

My French language skills?

When a man speaks several languages, we say he is "multi-lingual", yes?
If he speaks two languages, we say he is "bi-lingual".

If he speaks only one language, he is.......... an American.

I regret I can possibly be of service in this regard only for English-speakers.
Perhaps if I am able to add any value to the existing body of QeT documentation, others may be motivated to translate that content into additional languages.

This question seems too foolish to ask, but where/how may I open the Elements Editor to create a new element?

I have experienced the Elements Editor a small bit by editing an existing element, but I find no way to open the editor other than by editing an an existing element.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions or guidance.

As a "workaround", I was able to do this successfully:

In the User Collections folder (/home/myUser/.qet) I created a text file (try.elmt) with no content and the element extension (.elmt).

I then opened the newly-created try.elmt in the QeT editor.
I was able then to "save-as" the desired name for my new element and work normally in the editor to created the desired content.

This method is OK with me, as it is a simple methodology and the result is as desired.

Is there perhaps a more straight-forward, more effective way to do this?

Ah, so.  My mistake.

To toggle display of the organizer panel, ALT-s <ENTER>  <ENTER>
nice!

In this regard also I discovered:
CNTRL-8
CNTRL-9

These are very useful to make best use of screen space.
Especially if you are working with a small screen.

CNTRL-8 in a sort of CAD terminology "zooms to extents, ignoring the title-block".
CNTRL-9 might be described in a similar way as "zooms to extents of the title-block"

Is it possible there exists any keyboard combination to minimize (collapse) the project organizer tree ?

Thank you Qelectrotech for this wonderful tool.
