Request and discussion: Tools Bar - 10 programmable Tools (CTRL+1 to CTRL+0)
Hello Mp3tag users, I would like to have your opinion...
For almost a year that I have been working, my tags with this program, I really like Mp3tag, I believe that it is the best TAGS program in the world...
About a month ago, I discovered the Tools, this command is great
I'm going to tell you a secret, I don't really like using keyboard keys in my programs, like CTRL+1 and etc., to activate our Tools
I really like working with the clicks of my mouse
It is true that we have an option with the mouse, for Tools, (1) You have to click on the right
(2) Then you need to choose 'Tools'
(3) then click on "tools"
This method is slower than having a toolbar and clicking directly on the "tools..."
I think it would be great and very useful to have a “Tools Bar” at the bottom of the screen with the 10 Tools which are programmable
The 10 Tools would be visible at all times and it would be very quick to make a mouse click to choose our 'Tools'
This 'Tools Bar' could be optional, and could be opened in the VIEW menu, for those who would like to have this option at the bottom of the screen and could be closed by clicking on the 'x' in the bar at the bottom of the screen on the left...
See my 2 photos...
I await your comments and suggestions....

The tools are also available in the right-click-context menu of the file list.

I know, Ohrenkino
, you have to click on the right
Afterwards, you have to choose 'Tools'
and then click on “tools”
This method is slower than having a toolbar and clicking directly on the "tools..."

As you mentioned

I wanted to show this already possible way to to activate a tool with the mouse as alternative to keyboard shortcuts as you did not mention it in your OP.

If we get a toolbar for "Tools", then it should be freely placeable like the filter toolbar (F3)
In my case, there is a lot of free space in the current menu toolbar and this is the most important place where I am used to clicking with the mouse.
As the "Tools" behind the CTRL + can change at any time, I would like to see a Tooltip while hovering over the single entries to see what "Tools" is actually set behind the Button/Keyboard-Shortcut before I click on it.

Yes, LyricsLover, we could put the "Tools Bar" at the top too....
That would be cool 👍
