Vertical toolbar, rather than horizontal.
Submitted by on Friday, 11 June, 2004 - 21:49
I've modified the code on my local version of jEdit to put the toolbar on the LHS of the screen, rather than on the top of the screen. This saves me a lot of space since I use a laptop with a 14" monitor. It would be nice if we could get this as a normal feature of jEdit (so I don't have to keep modifying the code to support it). I'd be happy to provide my code, though it is really just a hack, and I don't recommend using it as is.
It seems to me that a method could be added to the class for a toolbar that identifies whether the toolbar supports vertical orientation or not. Then, when toolbars are loaded, they could be put on the left or on the top by a global option. Alternatively, it might be nice for each toolbar to choose on its own (via the "Global Options" pages) where it should appear.
Anyway, that's my request...
