A shortcut button with an icon for the specified operation now appears in the window.
As more shortcut buttons are added to the button bar, tabs in the window move to
accommodate them.

buttons in a button bar exceed the width of the window, a dot appears on the left
edge of the button bar, indicating there are more buttons that cannot be seen. To see
the additional buttons, you need to widen the window.
