• To combine toolbars, click the gripper area of a toolbar, and drag the toolbar on top of another or along the same
edge of the application window (Windows®) or screen (Mac OS®).
• To switch a toolbar to a floating panel, click the gripper area of the toolbar and drag the toolbar away from the
edge of the application window (Windows) or screen (Mac OS).
• To separate a grouped toolbar, click the gripper area of the toolbar, and drag the toolbar away from the group.
Dragging a toolbar out of an existing group creates a new toolbar.
View tool hints
The Tool Hints panel describes how modifier keys work with the selected tool.
1
Choose Window > Utilities > Tool Hints to display the Tool Hints panel.
2
Select a tool in the toolbox to view a description of that tool and its modifier keys and shortcuts.
Use context menus
Unlike the menus that appear at the top of your screen, context-sensitive menus display commands related to the active
tool or selection. You can use context menus as a quick way to choose commonly used commands.
1
Position the pointer over the document, object, or panel.
2
Click the right mouse button.
Note: (Mac OS) If you don’t have a two-button mouse, you can display a context menu by pressing the Control key as you
click with the mouse.
Customize menus
Hiding and colorizing menu commands is a way to remove menu clutter and emphasize commands you frequently use.
Note that hiding menu commands simply removes the menu command from view; it doesn’t disable any features. At
any time, you can view hidden commands by selecting the Show All Menu Items command at the bottom of a menu,
or you can choose Window > Workspace > Show Full Menus to show all the menus for the selected workspace. You can
include customized menus in workspaces you save.
You can customize the main menu, context menus, and panel menus. Context menus appear when you right-click
(Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) an area. Panel menus appear when you click the icon in the upper right of a
panel.
Note: If you select a different workspace, such as Getting Started, some menu commands are hidden. To display menu
commands, choose Show All Menu Items at the bottom of the menu, or choose a different workspace, such as Advanced.
Create a custom menu set
1
Choose Edit > Menus.
You cannot edit the default menu set.
