![Toolbar Customization Panel](\"https:\/\/blogs.mathworks.com\/images\/desktop\/peter_muellers_the_tools_you_want\/toolbarcustomizationpanel.png\")
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
You can use this panel to specify which controls you want to appear on a toolbar and in what order. To add and remove controls simply check and uncheck the corresponding entries in the list that occupies most of the panel. As you check and uncheck controls, they appear and disappear from the layout area above. Within the layout area you can then rearrange the controls you have selected by dragging them.<\/p>\n
For an example of what you might do with this capability here is my customized Editor toolbar:<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
I always use the keyboard shortcuts for Cut, Copy and Paste so I removed those buttons. The buttons I use the most are the ones that control debugging so I moved them to the beginning. I moved Print and Publish to the end of the toolbar since I don\u2019t happen to make much use of them. This way, if I make my editor narrow, my favorite buttons don\u2019t drop off the end of the toolbar.<\/p>\n
As for my main MATLAB toolbar and the Shortcuts toolbar I\u2019ve configured them as follows:<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
I again removed Cut, Copy and Paste. Furthermore, I haven\u2019t found much use for Undo and Redo outside the context of the Editor so they\u2019re gone too. This shortened the main toolbar a bit. I took advantage of this extra space by dragging my Shortcuts toolbar to be adjacent to the main toolbar. I now have all the tools I want on a single row, leaving more working real-estate.<\/p>\n
One reason I\u2019m excited about the customization capability is that it allows us to offer a more extensive palette of toolbar controls in the future without cluttering everyone\u2019s toolbar with all possible controls.<\/p>\n
It dawned on me that my recent posts have discussed the Document Bar<\/strong>, Title Bar<\/strong>s and now ToolBar<\/strong>s. Maybe I should change my e-mail signature to<\/p>\n Peter Muellers That title sounds like somebody\u2019s advertising catch phrase, but what I\u2019m referring to is the toolbar customization and rearrangement capability that was added to the MATLAB desktop in R2008a.
