Edit an existing trigger?

I see how one can create a new trigger using the GUI, but not modify an existing one or delete one. Yes, I am aware one can do so via mysql statements, but, that's the purpose of Heidisql too, to avoid having to know all the syntax.

I see a post from HeidiSQL long ago, which I cannot post a link to as I don't have authorization yet, but it's on the heidisql site and has screenshots.php?which=trigger_editor in it. It says create and modify, so, I am thinking modify must be a function, I just can't find it! Can anyone direct me to where in the GUI to modify an existing trigger, or even see it?

You should see triggers on the "Database" tab, just where the tables, views and procedures are. Doubleclicking a trigger should show you the trigger editor.

It appears it is more a function of having full table status turned off, which I did.

to check the current trigger in your instance (mySQL):

SELECT * FROM information_schema.triggers

and if you have triggers in a database, you will see them as:
