Edit a memory's name inline¶
Rename a stored memory channel directly in the Memory table without opening a separate dialog.
Before you start¶
- Open Settings > Memory... to display the Memory Channels dialog.
- The radio must be connected.
Steps¶
-
Click a row in the Memory table to select it. Only one memory can be edited at a time.
-
Do one of the following to enter inline-edit mode on the Name field:
- Click Edit.
-
Press F2 or Ctrl+E.
-
Type the new name.
-
Press Enter to confirm, or press Esc to cancel.
What each control does¶
| Control | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Edit button | Enters inline-edit mode on the selected memory's Name column. Only enabled when exactly one memory is selected. |
| F2 / Ctrl+E | Keyboard shortcut that triggers the same edit mode as the Edit button. |
Tips¶
- The Name column supports up to the character limit set by the radio firmware. AetherSDR encodes the name as required by SmartSDR protocol.
- To cancel editing, press Esc before pressing Enter.
- The Memory Channels dialog uses a PersistentDialog framework that remembers its size and position across sessions. Geometry is stored in the setting
MemoryDialogGeometryand is restored the next time the dialog opens.
