CHAPTER 4
QUICKEYS TOOLBARS
••••••
Some programs contain toolbars that allow you to cut, copy,
and paste selected items just by clicking the corresponding
icons. Similarly, QuicKeys offers toolbars which allow you to
start Quickeys Actions by clicking a QuicKeys toolbar button.
Using toolbars is beneficial if you want quick and convenient
access to specific Actions without having to remember the hot
key that triggers them. In fact you can place all of your
QuicKeys Actions on toolbars if you are visually-oriented. You
can even choose to Auto-hide your toolbars to preserve space
on your screen. And, if you find the program toolbars you use
on a daily basis a bit limited in their functionality, supplement
your program toolbars with QuicKeys toolbars. The way you
set up and use your QuicKeys toolbars is completely
dependent upon you and the way you work.
CLICK-N-GO
A Click-N-Go toolbar closes immediately after you click a
button on the toolbar. This type of toolbar is useful if you
want to preserve screen real estate. For example, if you don’t
want to memorize which Action starts one of the 15 programs
installed on your computer, you can create a Click-N-Go
toolbar that enables you to start each of these programs by
clicking the appropriate program button on the toolbar. All
you have to remember is the hot key that opens the Click-NGo toolbar or select the toolbar from the QuicKeys menu. You
can then click the appropriate program icon on the toolbar
and watch as the toolbar disappears just as the selected
program opens.
QuicKeys toolbars have two components: the toolbar itself
and the buttons on the toolbar. The Toolbar Setup Wizard
guides you through creating both components, so setting up
your toolbars is relatively easy.

of its buttons.
Sizing Click-N-Go Toolbars
You can size Click-N-Go toolbars by clicking on the corner or
edge of the toolbar and dragging when the cursor becomes a
double-sided arrow. If some buttons are not visible after you
size the toolbar, the toolbar frame becomes a dotted line.
