customizable Toolbar

I was thinking this a reasonable wish and checked to see the past wishes and found that Jacky had already suggested a similar thing back 14 May.

I am predominately a mouse user and as such like the ability to add just a few special operands to the toolbar of my liking. I accept that a full blown affair like the Keyboard Short Cuts is not ideal and a lot of work for little gain.

What I am suggesting is that there be say up to 4 icons (U1,U2....) which can be used and positioned on the Toolbar. To assign a function to each would require that either an existing or new Keyboard Short Cut exists. Thus in making this work the Toolbar icon is 'associated' with a KSC and when clicked it emulates the KSC.

The reason for just 4 icons is that this is for simplicity and convenience and not to over clutter the Toolbar plus making it easy for the user to associate the Icon with his chosen task. It is similar in concept to the use of Fn keys but there for the mouse addicts.

For reference, here's a link to original thread:

In that one, jacky does mention the concept of having some ability for user to define their own icons...which I agree with, but not necessarily as fancy an interface as he suggests...I'd be happy to have XY allow for an override of these four icons via replacement of that particular ICO file in XY folder...

For the record, while I wound't mind a no-GUI/all-INI-Tricks way to set it up, I would need/love more than 4 buttons myself
