Toolbar Shortcuts

Verbum Toolbar Shortcuts allow you to quickly open resources, run commands, or access layouts you use most often. The Shortcuts you create live in the area of the toolbar between the Tools icon and the Help Center icon . 

Note: The Shortcuts section may not appear in a minimized view. If you don't see a section between the Tools icon and the Help Center icon , try maximizing the application to fill your whole screen.

Add New Shortcuts

To create a shortcut from an open resource, search, tool, or other feature, simply drag the item you want to the shortcuts section.

You can also add non-opened items to the shortcuts section:

• Library/Docs/Guides/Tools: Locate an item in its respective menu (i.e. the Homily Manager in the Tools Menu) and drag it to the shortcuts section.
• Go Box commands: Add commands (i.e. “close all”) by typing them in the command box and dragging them from the drop-down list that appears to the shortcuts section.
• Layouts: Drag saved layouts or layout templates (like vertical alignment) from the Layouts Menu to the shortcuts section.

Modify Existing Shortcuts

You can modify your shortcuts to change the icon and the text, or add your shortcuts to folders.

Note: Your shortcuts may not all display in the shortcut section, depending on how many you have. If you do not see them immediately, click More Shortcuts >> to expand the shortcuts menu. 

1. Right-click a shortcut button in the shortcut section.
2. Edit the shortcut label by typing in the Label field.  
3. Change the icon by clicking one of the available icons.
4. Provide a folder name to add the shortcut to a folder. If the folder does not exist with that name, Verbum will create the folder automatically.

Shortcuts added to folders display in a dropdown menu; simply click the caret to expand it. 

Delete Shortcuts

Right-click a shortcut and choose Delete to remove it from the shortcut bar.

Note: To delete a folder, right-click each item in the folder and provide a new folder name or remove the folder name. When no shortcuts include links to your desired folder, the folder will be deleted.
