Question about toolbar buttons

[B_P_100]

I notice that there are toolbar buttons for common functions such as Explain Plan, Browser, and Find DB Objects.

I can't find a similar available toolbar button for (New) SQL Command (Window).

It's not big deal since I can use the File/New menu but it seems like a shortcut would be useful for such a frequently used function.

I'd also suggest toolbar buttons for File/New/Program/Package and perhaps File/New/Program/Function & Procedure & Trigger

Hi,

you can bind keyboard commands to these.
i have
ctrl-1 to open a new sql window,
ctrl-2 for a command window and
ctrl-3 for an explain plan window

this is much quicker than clicking on the toolbar...

If you want a toolbar button, you can do it now without having to wait for a program change.

1. Assign "New SQL Window" to a key like rbrooker said.

2. Create a macro that just has that key (ctrl-1 for example).

3. In the tools/macro/library, set this macro up to be on the toolbar.

4. In the toolbar preferences, put that macro on the toolbar.

I do this for other things, like a couple of reports I run all the time, or to go to the next or prior bookmarks etc.

For reports, as far as I know, can't be assigned to a shortcut key, but I just use the keyboard to open the report from the menu. You know, ALT+R, right arrow, down arrow whatever and then ENTER.
