| <H1>Creating fast views</H1> |
| |
| <p>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>To create a fast view:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Click the title bar of the view that you want. Hold the mouse button down.</li> |
| <li>Drag the view to the Fast View bar and release the mouse button. By default the shortcut bar is located in the lower left corner of the window.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p>Alternatively, you can click on the button located on the left side of the |
| Fast View bar which will present you with a selection of views. Choosing one |
| of these views will add it to the Fast View bar immediately. </p> |
| <p><img src="../images/fast_view_menu.png" alt="Picture of the fast view menu"> </p> |
| |
| <p>The icon for the view that you dragged now appears on the shortcut |
| bar. You can look at the view by clicking its icon on the shortcut bar. As soon |
| as you click somewhere else outside the view, it is hidden again. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>To restore the view to its original location (and remove it from the Fast View bar), toggle |
| the fast view item in the view button's context menu. </p> |
| <p>You can also create and restore fast views by selecting <b>Fast |
| View</b> from the context menu that opens when you click the |
| icon at the left side of the view's title bar. |
