Action toolbar

Each action that is available from the action toolbar is listed below. A short description is given for each. If any keyboard shortcuts are associated with an action, they will also be noted. Some actions can be executed in one of two modes, e.g. single or batch mode. In these cases, the primary mode of the action is triggered by left-clicking the button, the secondary by right-clicking it.

Attach

Left-click: Attach to unit

Attach all selected units to a target unit to be choosen in a second step. If the target unit is not an HQ but is itself attached to an HQ, ART will try to attach the selected units to the parent HQ instead.

Hotkey: [a]

Right-click: Repeat attach to unit

Attach all selected units and to the most recent, previous attachment target.

Hotkey: [A]

Attach by distance

Left-click: Choose unit using GEO mode

Attach all selected units to a target HQ to be choosen in a second step. Switch to GEO mode, only displaying the selected units and applicable HQs.  After target has been choosen, switch back to previous display mode.

Hotkey: none

Right-click: Choose unit from list

Display a list of applicable HQs, sorted by the distance to the first selected unit. Attachment target can then be choosen from this list.

Hotkey: none

Attach to theatre

Attach all selected units directly to the theatre(s) they are (indirectly) assigned to at the moment. If there is no theatre in the line of command above an unit, this action has no effect on this unit.

Detach all selected units from their parent HQs.

Hotkey: [d]

See also ??????? for some ideas on how to rename units efficiently.

Rename

Left-click: Single unit mode

Show an small window with an editable dropdown list. You can either enter a name directly or choose a template from the dropdown list. Enter a new name, then hit [Return] or [Enter] to exit edit mode and rename the unit, hit ESC to cancel the action. You can use placeholders in the name.

Hotkey: [r]

Right-click: Batch mode

This follows the same procedure as the single unit mode, but if you confirm the changes, all selected units will be renamed. This action makes the most sense when using placeholders.

Hotkey: [R]

Auto rename units

Left-click: Single unit mode

If a filter matches for the first selected unit and there is a template for this filter, the unit is renamed using the template.

Hotkey: [q]

Right-click: Batch mode

Check for each selected unit if a matching filter with an applicable template exists. If such a filter is found, its template is used to rename the unit.

Hotkey: [Q]

Auto rename elements

Left-click: Single unit mode

If a filter matches for any element that is part of the first selected unit and there is a template defined for this filter, the element is renamed using this template.

Right-click: Batch mode

Check for each element of each selected unit if a matching filter with a template exists. If such a filter is found, its template is used to rename the element.

Remove the leader from the first selected unit and return him to the leader pool.

Hotkey: [l]

Right-click: Batch mode

Remove the leaders from all selected units and return them to the leader pool.

Explode unit

Left-click: Single unit mode

Right-click: Batch mode

Explode all selected units, i.e. each regiment is transferred to a new brigade and the original units are disbanded.
