Feature Showcase
Custom toolbars and menus are used to extend Komodo's default menus and toolbars with menus and toolbars containing custom items. Any component that can be stored in a project or the Toolbox can be stored in a custom toolbar or menu. A custom toolbar might contain frequently used run commands and snippets; a custom menu might contain folders with the contents of a local filesystem.
Custom toolbars and menus are created and configured within the Project Manager and/or the Toolbox. Custom toolbars and menus contained in projects are only displayed when the projects are open in the Projects tab; custom toolbars and menus contained in the Toolbox are always displayed.
To access options for a custom menu or toolbar, do one of the following:
The following options are available:
libz
(for example WinZip). The Export
Package option differs from the Export as
Project File option in that copies of filesystem-based
components (such as files and dialog projects) are included in
the archive. Conversely, Export as Project
File creates a project with a reference to the
component's original location and does not create copies of the
components. When Export Package is invoked,
you are prompted for a name and file location for the package.
Exported packages can only be imported into "container" objects
in Komodo, such as projects, the Toolbox, and folders within
projects and the Toolbox. See Toolbox - Exporting and
Importing Toolbox Contents, Projects - Importing
and Exporting Projects via Packages, or Folders - Import
Contents from Package for more information.Custom menu or toolbar properties are used to alter the name of the custom menu or toolbar, or change the custom menu or toolbar's display order. To access the Properties dialog box, right-click the custom menu or toolbar and select Properties.
Custom menus are displayed between the default Tools and Window menus. If multiple custom menus are in effect, the display order depends on the menu's Priority setting. New menus have a default priority of 100; alter the priority of custom menus to control the left-to-right order of display.
Custom toolbars are displayed to the right of default Komodo toolbars. If necessary, a new row is created for their display. If multiple custom toolbars are in effect, the display order depends on the toolbar's Priority setting. New toolbars have a default priority of 100; alter the priority of custom toolbars to control the left-to-right order of display.
To assign a letter to be used in combination with the 'Alt' key for menu access, enter a shortcut letter in the Menu Access Key field. If the letter is already assigned to a Komodo core function, you are prompted to enter a different letter.
