#103 HTML Toolbar
Dear Sir/ Madam,
I am new to Linux, ( OH NO a Newbie, everyone run for cover. ) and I just down loaded Bluefish.
I have one problem and one suggestion.
I am using Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.1.
First the problem, in the View Tab the HTML Toolbar is checked, but nowhere do I see an HTML Toolbar, and when I uncheck it, nothing disappears, or when I check it nothing appears.
Now for the suggestion, but before I get to that I would like to say that everything I see in Bluefish I like, and is similar to the editor that I am now using in windows. Which is " WeBuilder 2022 ", they have a newer version out that uses AI. Which I do not have.
In there editor you have the option of opening a second pane, either vertically or horizontally next to the pane that you are writing the code in. In Real Time you see the changes in the web page as it will appear on the internet. I think this would make a Very Nice addition if you could come up with something similar.
Thank You for the Help with the above problem, and I hope you find my suggestion one you might want to look into.
Respectfully,

hmm strange..
if you open the preferences and go to plugins, do you see a plugin named "HTML Features"? (or htmlbar.so)
as for your second request: there is little development on new big features at the moment, so it sounds like a nice suggestion, but there is nobody working on something like that (it's all volunteer work!)
Hello,
Yes I know it is all volunteer work. I just thought that I would give you a suggestion for the future.
Yes, I did see the html features box, that was what I was clicking on.
You seem to be doing things a little different. When I say " Toolbar ", I am talking about the
tool icons like " cut, copy, and paste ". I was expecting a bar to show up with all the little icons
in it. I have figured out how you are doing it, with the drop downs.
Thank You for replying to my question !

have a look at the screenshot https://bluefish.openoffice.nl/images/bluefish-appdata-screenshot.png
the html toolbar is the one with quickbar/standard/html 5/formatting etc. Do you see that one?
Hello Oliver,
Thank You for the screenshot !
I am seeing something similar, but not the same, I now see how assess the tools.
Here is a screenshot of what I see.
