Re: [orion-dev] Buttons in the editor

["Silenio Quarti" <Silenio_Quarti@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We moved away from buttons when the menu
bar was added.  One of the reasons to change to menus is the fact
that there are so many commands in the editor page that we cannot possibly
fit  them all in a toolbar.   There are no plans to show the
items in the tools menu as buttons again.

Having said that, I believe it is still
possible to add buttons directly to the menu bar by specifying a service
property "scopeId".  The property itself and available scope
ids are undocumented but you can try "extraActions" which will
add the button just after the Tools menu.  Something like

        var
serviceImpl = {
         
      run : function(text) {
         
      }
        };
        var
serviceProps = {
         
      id : "test",
         
      name : "Test Command",
         
      scopeId: "extraActions"
        };
        provider.registerService("orion.edit.command",
serviceImpl, serviceProps);

Hi,

Is there a way to add buttons to the editor as shown here
https://wiki.eclipse.org/File:Orion-editorplugin.png?
It looks like new commands get placed in the tools menu now instead of
at the top of the editor. Has it been intentionally decided that buttons
above the editor are a bad design, or are there plans to bring them back?
Could new commands be placed in the tools menu by default, but have the
option of being in the editor toolbar?

Thanks,
Andrew_______________________________________________
