Re: two or more lines of icons
* Stephen J. Turnbull:
Emacsen have historically not been for occasional users; they
appeal
to users who use them as their primary application, and even their
"operating environment".
To make it short: (incf users-wanting-toolbar-features)
I use emacs all day every day, but still think a context sensitive
*captioned* toolbar would be nice if more modes/applications provided it.
Especially when trying out a feature for the first time because I need
something done *now*.
It's funny that Uwe Brauer mentiones latex, given the trouble David Kastrup
had with using a toolbar with preview-latex. Had he found it easy I'm sure
both preview-latex and AUCTex would make more use the toolbar, and most
likely other modes as well. I know I started to improve the ediff toolbar
once, to get a friend to realize how great ediff is, only to get lost in
the lisp internals manual for a while and give up.
As it is I've turned off the toolbar long ago; I mean, the Info toolbar
doesn't even have "back" (goto last visited node).
Btw, it would be nice if the toolbar buttons echoed the keyboard equivalent
(teach-extended-commands-p).
