Introduction
With the release of IGB 7.0, we introduce the Toolbar, which is described here. The Toolbar provides one-click shortcuts for the most common functions in IGB. The Preferences > Toolbar tab provides the full listing of functions that can be put into the Toolbar. In addition, all of these functions, plus many more, can be set to run with keystroke shortcuts as well.
Adding Shortcuts to the Toolbar
To select a shortcut function to add to the Toolbar, simply check the box in the Toolbar? column. To the left you can see the icon as it will appear in the Toolbar, and to the right is the name of the function. If you would like to add a function to the Toolbar that does not have an icon, let us know! If you would like a function that does not appear in the list at all, let us know! We are always happy to help out with new features and options.
If you would prefer to set and use Key Stroke short cuts, click in the Key Stroke field for your selected shortcut, and the cursor will appear in an open text box. Type the command key(s) you want to use (CONTROL/META, ALT or SHIFT, or combinations) + a letter or number key. Click enter after you set the key stroke combination.
Key Stroke shortcuts for zooming and scrolling the view will apply both in the main view and in the sliced view. The effect can be confusing when both views are visible in the same window at the same time. Opening the sliced view in a separate window can give more predictable shortcut behavior.
