| Fast views</H1> |
| <p> |
| <strong>NOTE:</Strong> The Fast View feature, while still available, has effectively been subsumed by the new |
| minimize behavior (which places minimized stacks into the trim where they subsequently work by showing views in |
| the same manner as the Fast Views). While there's only one Fast View Bar you can have as many minimized stacks |
| as you want and can place them where you want in the trim. See '<a href="../gettingStarted/qs-39g.htm">Maximizing a view or editor</a>' |
| for details. |
| </p> |
| <P CLASS="Para" Label=Type> |
| Fast views are hidden views that can be quickly opened and closed. They work |
| like other views except they do not take up space in your Workbench window. </P> |
| <P CLASS="Para" Label=Type> Fast views are represented by toolbar buttons on the |
| <i>fast view bar</i>, which is the toolbar initially on the bottom |
| left of the Workbench window. When you click the toolbar button for a fast view, |
| that view opens temporarily in the current perspective (overlaying it). As soon as you click |
| outside that view or the view loses focus it is hidden again. The fast view bar can also be docked |
| on the other sides of the Workbench window.</P> |
| <P CLASS="Para" Label=Type> |
| You can create a new fast view by dragging any open view to the |
| fast view bar or by selecting <b>Fast View</b> from the menu that opens when you |
| right-click the icon of the view's tab. You can also click on the left-most button of the fast View bar |
| to open a menu which will show a list of views. Selecting a view from this list (or from the dialog that appears |
| if you select '<b>Other...</b>' will result in the selected view being added to the fast view bar and activating |
| (i.e. shown as the active part).</p> |
