How to extend GUI

    Hello,

    Is there an easy way (or a howto) to create new buttons on the GUI that perform actions that are contained in the menu or keyboard shortcuts?

    Example:  Create a button that when clicked performs the same function as selecting Plugins > NppExport > Export to HTML
    Example:  Create a button that when clicked performs the same function as clicking the Ctrl-Shift-U keys (convert to Upper Case)

    My gut feeling is that I'd have to create this functionality from source and compile...

    Any ideas?

    Thanks.

      I'm looking after this feature too. I don't think it's available. It would be nice if the toolbar was customizable.

      "Discussed before"

      Is there a way to search this forum?  Do I have to manually search (10k+ messages @100 per display equals a lot of time browsing)?  Do you remember the title of the discussion?  Can you provide any details? Thanks - no sarcasm intended.  Just looking for answers. Thanks again.

        Press CTRL+F and search for "Search".
        Perhaps you will find the Search button in the right upper corner of also this page.

        Look at the results for "toolbar+customize":

        http://sourceforge.net/search/?forum_id=331753&type_of_search=forums&group_id=95717&words=customize%2Btoolbar

        Or simply search for "toolbar" and look at messages of a couple of days ago.

      GOT ME!!!! You win!  You don't know how stupid I feel right now...

      This is what happens when you multi-task badly on multiple monitors.  I am now closing the browser, formatting my hard drive and going to watch the "talking picture box"---
