The Button bar
 
With the button bar you can call menu commands, external programs and even other button bars. If you leave the mouse cursor on a button for a moment, a small window with a description will appear.
 
You can easily add buttons to the button bar using Drag&Drop (with pressed SHIFT key). By pressing the right mouse button, you can open a local menu, which allows you to change or delete buttons. For further changes in the button bar you should use the Dialog box to change the whole button bar.
 
You can also access the button bar with the keyboard: Press Alt+Shift+F11 (or define a hotkey for cm_FocusButtonBar) and then use the cursor keys, Tab/Shift+Tab and Enter or Escape to navigate. Use Spacebar, Shift+F10 or the context menu key to open the context menu.
 
New in TC9: There is now also a vertical button bar. It can be configured in the same way as the horizontal bar. To remove it, you can right click between or below the icons and choose "Hide button bar". You can get it back by right clicking on the panel separator and choose "Show vertical button bar". Press Alt+Shift+F12 (or define a hotkey for cm_FocusButtonBarVertical) to focus the vertical button bar.
 
If no location is set for the default button bar file default.bar, it will be taken from the program directory. If the file isn't writable in the program directory, it will be copied to the location of the wincmd.ini file and used from there. This can be prevented with the following lines within the default.bar file:
