| <H1>Configuring perspective command groups</H1> |
| <p>You can choose which command groups are available in a perspective. Command |
| groups contribute menu items, toolbar buttons and key bindings, all of which |
| run commands. Making a command group unavailable in a perspective removes |
| these methods of running commands. Making a command group available makes it |
| possible for these methods to be used, however they can be turned on and off |
| with more fine-grained control via the <b>Menu Visibility</b> and |
| <b>Tool Bar Visibility</b> tabs of the <b>Customize Perspective</b> |
| dialog.</p> |
| |
| <p>To configure command group availability:</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Switch to the perspective that you want to configure.</li> |
| <li>Select <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.customizePerspective")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png" alt="command link"> |
| <b>Window > Customize Perspective...</b></a>.</li> |
| <li>Open the <b>Command Groups Availability</b> tab.</li> |
| <li>Select the command group in the <b>Available command groups</b> list whose |
| availability you want to edit.</li> |
| <li>Preview the menu items and toolbar buttons which are contributed by the |
| selected command group in the <b>Menubar details</b> and |
| <b>Toolbar details</b> trees. Hover over items in these trees to view |
| their key bindings. </li> |
| <li>Use the check box next to the command group to make it available |
| or unavailable.</li> |
| <li>Click <b>OK</b> to cause the changes to take effect.</li> |
