Toolbars

There are three kinds of toolbars in the

Workbench

: main, view, and fast view.

The main toolbar, sometimes called the Workbench toolbar, is displayed at the top of the Workbench
window directly beneath the menu bar. The contents of this toolbar change based on the active perspective.
Items in the toolbar might be enabled or disabled based on the state of either the active

view

or

editor

.

Sections of the main toolbar can be rearranged using the mouse.

There are also individual view toolbars, which appear in the title bar of a

view

. Actions in a view’s toolbar

apply only to the view in which they appear. Some view toolbars include a Menu button, shown as an
inverted triangle, that contain additional actions for that view.

Finally, the fast view toolbar contains icons representing the current set of

Fast views

. A fast view is a

shortcut to a frequently used view. The fast view toolbar appears in the bottom-left corner of the workbench
by default. However, it is possible to position it on the left or right as well.

In all cases, when the cursor is positioned over a toolbar button, a tooltip describing its function appears.
