Create Toolbar Buttons for Less Common Commands

▤ Summary

Many reporters and scopists ignore the toolbar most of the time because they are accustomed to using keyboard commands to do the vast majority of tasks in Edit. Most of the time this makes good sense; after all, why move your hand over to the mouse and then point and click on a toolbar button to do something like J-define, or play audio and then have to move your hands back to the home row to type a word, or navigate to the next item? However, sometimes you need to access features that aren’t used often, and you’ve probably noticed just how much it can slow you down to hunt for an item in a menu for which you don’t have a keyboard shortcut. If you see the words, but would prefer an image, before you close the Customize dialog box, right click the button on the toolbar and select Change Button Image, and then select an icon that would be helpful to you for that feature. There are a lot of different commands available to help you customize a new toolbar button – you can change its name, assign a letter to press with Alt to use with the command, display the text and the image, edit the image, etc.
