4. Shortcut Toolbar Enhancements (Revision #53)

For faster access to files, servers, AquaScripts and URLs, the Aqua Data Studio IDE allows creating and managing shortcuts. Shortcuts can be created to Database Server Connections available in the Servers Browser, SSH Connections from the Servers Browser, AquaScripts from the Projects Browser, and files from the Files Browser or the Operating System, and Web Browser URLs. Shortcuts are stored in a user-defined folder and display in the application toolbar. When a shortcut is clicked, Aqua Data Studio opens the appropriate editor, viewer or tool for the content it links to. Shortcuts can be opened one at a time, or all at once when they are grouped in folders. Items in the Shortcut Toolbar can be shifted left and right, deleted or have their properties altered via right-click context menus. Think of the Shortcut Toolbar as a web browser bookmark tool for the items you want quick acces to in Aqua Data Studio.

Toolbar Manager: The Shortcut Toolbar can be managed and organized by right clicking the application toolbar and selecting Configure Shortcut Toolbar.  Here a user may drag and drop shortcuts from one folder to another or create, reorder and delete folders. Individual shortcut properties can also be edited with a right click to change their names and links. By reordering shortcuts and folders, their display order in the toolbar can be changed. Altering items in the Toolbar Manager immediately alters what is displayed in the Shortcut Toolbar.

Support for shortcut folders: Folders allow grouping shortcuts for better organization. Shortcuts within a folder display as dropdown menus once the folder is left clicked in the Shortcut Toolbar. How the shortcuts stack is configurable from within the Toolbar Manager.

Support for opening all shortcuts: Once several shortcuts have been placed in a folder, all of a folder's shortcuts be opened at the same time through the use of the right-click context menu "Open all in Tabs". As an example, all of a user's Oracle database connections can be grouped in a single folder and opened simultaneously in separate tabs with a single click.
