Is there a way to display Favorites with a single click?

I'd love it if I could click just ONCE to reveal the Favorites menu.
Or is there maybe a keyboard shortcut for that?
(I see I can toggle the *status* of an folder to/from Favorite, but don't see one for SHOWING favorites.

Hi MrAnalogy,

what you're asking for is - at least to my understanding - inbuild. Just take a look at those stars

Several ways:
1) Favorite folders toolbar button
2) Map command ID: #550; to keyboard shortcut
3) Or add #550; to Catalog

Note: You can find command IDs to almost anything in XY from Help|List All Commands

If you are looking for fav files then its #564.

I don't see those in my menu in the toolbar at the top, how do I enable those?

Accidentally discovered this:

If you right-click on an empty area, inthe Tree on the left, you get a list of Favorite folders. Nice!

You can easily customize the toolbar with the buttons you need.
Right-click somewhere (better in an empty space) on the toolbar > Customize Toolbar. Now you can see a 2 panes window: on the left are all the buttons you can choose from. On the right are the buttons currently in your toolbar. Just search what you want - in this case the 2 stars for Favorite Files and Favorite Folders, and add them in the right pane. When you're finished, click OK. :D

There are lots of nice features not present by default in the toolbar. It's possible you'll find other useful buttons this way... :mrgreen:
