Hi,

How about promote the Editor Toolbar package to the group of installed by default?

The jump back/forward buttons at the toolbar are reasons enough to me.

Thanks.

I agree but who suggest a good default setting?

Couple of points:

- some items that can be added, still have no icons

- if the package is added by default, it should register an option. So it can be hidden without recompile

- the config lists entries that are empty "source tab" > "pages" > "copy/Clone to other window" > CopyToOtherWindowSectionList Also duplicates (2 entries for new window)

"SourceEditor > FirstDynamicSection"
....

The jump back/forward buttons at the toolbar are reasons enough to me.

The Back/Forward are navigation buttons. Just a suggestion.... maybe we could place those two buttons next to the other permanent navigation/jump button - thus always available as default.

My mouse only has 3 buttons.

The maintainer.
Who maintains this package in the lazarus sources?

Attached is my settings, if any of you are interested: http://free-pascal-lazarus.989080.n3.nabble.com/file/n3944149/editortoolbar.xml editortoolbar.xml

it will be long...

well, i think the editortoolbar buttons should be related to source management tools, as copy, paste, breakpoints, undo, redo, save as(s)...

Well you can configure them. Assign back to the middle, and forward to ctrl middle

I didn't put standard edit actions (undo/redo/cut/copy/paste/save( as)/etc), because I already comfortable with the shortcut. However, this is not the case with refactoring, that's why I put it. The same with everything from Run menu (build/clean up/start-stop-pause debug/etc). Breakpoints are easily toggled by clicking on the gutter, so I didn't put it on the toolbar. Well... this is just my settings :)

No i can't reassign them, because the middle button is already used very often as a Paste command (standard behaviour in X11, and very useful).

I originally implemented it, and made minor improvements over time, so I guess it would be (unofficially) me.

Well that is your priority.
I was merely pointing out an alternative.

use ctrl-middle and ctrl-right mouse? (since ctrl left is jumping to a new target, the ctrl key is already involved...)

There is also a window, displaying the entire jump history. allowing you to directly jump to any of the entries.

Otherwise it only reverses the problem, and people (who like me, do not want it) will have do de-install it.

True, and like with so many other packages, i have no problems manually installing the 'editor toolbar' package either (as is the case now). After all, you only need to select it once. After that, all IDE recompiles (done from inside the IDE) includes your selection of packages anyway.

Actually, it was helpful, when I was still learning the IDE. Now I prefer maximum space for viewing/editing source. Hence, even hiding tabs, if single tab...

I like space too... so I have tabs on the right of the editor window, editor toolbar at the top, and the editor window often overlapping the IDE main form and messages window (who needs to see the main form anyway - if you have shortcuts setup!). :-)
