Shortcut bar</H1>
<P CLASS="Intro">
The shortcut bar appears along the left edge of the Workbench window.&nbsp;This toolbar is always active; it cannot be closed or
hidden.
<P CLASS="Intro">
The shortcut bar allows quick access to perspectives that are currently open, as well
as providing an easy way to open a new perspective.&nbsp; The shortcut bar is also
the place where fast views are created and opened.
<P CLASS="Para">
Here is an example of what the shortcut bar looks like:&nbsp;</P>

<DIV CLASS="Topic">
<h2>
Open Perspective</h2>
<P CLASS="Para">
This command opens a new perspective which is
selected by the user from a drop-down menu.&nbsp; All of the perspectives that are open within a single Workbench window are
shown on the shortcut bar.</P>
</DIV>
<DIV CLASS="Topic">
<h2>
Perspective Buttons</h2>
<P CLASS="Para">
These buttons provide a quick way to switch to one of the open
perspectives in the current Workbench window.&nbsp;
</P>
</DIV>
<DIV CLASS="Topic">
<h2>
View Buttons</h2>
<P CLASS="Para">
These buttons provide a quick way to display the
fast views in the current perspective.&nbsp; Fast views are essentially
minimized views that have been dragged onto the shortcut bar.&nbsp; Fast views
pop up when selected, and revert
back to their minimized state when the user clicks outside of the view.&nbsp; To
convert a fast view back into a normal view, click on the <i>Fast View</i> action
in the view's toolbar.&nbsp;</P>
