10  Customize

Dialog to customize the toolbars, actions, shortcuts as far as possible.

10.1  Toolbars


Figure 25: Customize toolbars
You can find in the list all toolbars which may be visible for some reason. To make one visible check the corresponding checkbox, to make one invisible uncheck etc...(you know what I mean). It's not possible to make the menu bar invisible, thus it appears disabled. The project tools toolbar is not visible when no project is open, but you can show (or hide) it anyway, it just may not contain any button. If you haven't already configured a tool, the Tools toolbar may also be invisible, and won't have any buttons.

10.2  Keyboard


Figure 26: Customize keyboard
This is the page to assign to each action a shortcut. Enter the shortcut you would like to have and click "Assign". If this shortcut is currently assigned to an other action the program will show a message box, notifying that you can't use this shortcut. If you want to clear a shortcut use the "Clear Key" button (then "Assign"), the Backspace key will not work, because it assumes you want to use this key as shortcut.

The program does not check whether there are shortcut conflicts with the editor shortcuts. These can be configured from the editor, in the Options dialog, page Shortcuts (8.16). Anyway, these shortcuts will be processed first, and if a keystroke is assigned to one of this actions the editor will not receive this shortcut. Please let me know when you have encountered a built-in conflict from these shortcuts.

10.3  Mouse


Figure 27: Customize mouse
