Is there a way to customize the toolbar/ruler in TextEdit? i.e. add buttons

I've become so annoyed by various aspects and quirks of MicrosoftWord that I'm trying to wean myself off it and migrate over to TextEdit as a simpler, faster and more stable day-to-day default word processing program.
In TextEdit's "Rich Text" mode, with the ruler/toolbar showing, there are only a few standard drop-down menus and buttons: Styles, Paragraph-align, Spacing and Lists. Is there a way to add new buttons or drop-down menus to this default selection? One of the few nice things about MSWord is that one could customize the toolbar. I'd expecially like to add simpler font-formatting buttons like "Strikethru" and font-sizes to TextEdit. I realize these things can be accessed via the "Fonts" floating window (command-T), but that's a whole extra keystroke and having to reach across the screen.
I presume there isn't a way to add these custom formatting buttons, but I just wanted to make sure.

You might like to try Bean, as a neat and simple WP - I'm a fan.

  • Captivate 8: Is there a way to customize the Toolbar?

    Just got the new Captivate 8, it seems that I can't set my Toolbar in vertical position, and the only Workspace preset is in Classic...
    Is this the default configuration or am I missing something?

    No way, that is the price that power users have to pay to make it easier for newbies. No customisation, no real toolbox that could be moved and was vertical but only a fixed BBB (Big Button Bar). I'm not happy at all with those changes.
    As for workspaces, I was so angry (really) that the team provided a way to create your own workspaces, by making the panels undockable and draggable. You have to activate an option in the Preferences, General settings. There is however no way to reduce a panel to an icon as was the case in CP7 (miss that UI so much in 8):

  • Is there a way to customize the web form link in Adobe FormsCentral?

    The dedicated link has a quite complicated address, not easily added to brochures to hand out.  Is there a way to customize the web form link in Adobe FormsCentral?

    It cannot be customized. The workaround is to create your own web page and embed our form into it. That way they only see your URL.

  • Is there a way to customize the MDM Workflow email notification content?

    I am looking for a way to customize the MDM Workflow email / notification  content. For example, I might want to put the Supplier ID(s) of the impacted supplier records (be it Update, Insert & Delete) into the email body or put an URL into the email body.
    Can MDM Workflow do this?
    Is there any workaround?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    What you can do is add a boolean field to the repository, for instance "Send Mail". You can use an assignment in the Workflows to set this field to true. Next, define an updatelistener and pick up the change to this field. If the value is "true", send out an email. Afterwards, let the listener change the value back to "false".
    Good luck,

  • Is there a way to customize the MacBook Air Favorites Toolbar so that each favorite looks like the real logo for that website with actual colors?  Like eBay, Google, ESPN, etc....

    Is there an app or download to do this?  It's hard looking all the way across the toolbar each time I want to click on ESPN, etc.. Would be much easier if the ESPN logo was up there and easy to find.  I am currently using Mavericks.

    Many of your points are totally legitimate.
    This one, however, is not:
    …To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
    The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
    The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

  • Is there a way to customize the IDE font?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to tweak the JDeveloper IDE so that I could specify the font for the menus and dialogs, which seems to be the default 'sans-serif';
    I know, it's the least annoyance you can have, but, however, if there's a way to do it plz let me know.
    Thx, P.

    Hi,

    I know, it's the least annoyance you can have, but, however, if there's a way to do it plz let me know.JDeveloper gets these fonts from the Swing Look And Feel, so there's not a way to customize it.
    Rob Thx for hinting me where to search... :) Indeed, I wanted to modify all the Swing Look and Feel fonts, for any Java app that would use it.
    It suffices to modify the font.properties file in the %JDeveloper installation folder%\jdk\jre\lib folder and to replace "Arial" with the desired font where desired... I replaced f.e. all Arial except Arial Black with Tahoma.
    For Windows users, use Wordpad instead of Notepad, it handles Unix-style line ends better.
    BTW, for seamless integration with Windows current theme settings, there is an article at
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/swing/1.4/w2k_props.html,
    that should work too

  • HT5019 Is there a way to disable the toolbar from preventing windows being dragged to external monitors configured above it?

    My preferred display arrangement is to have 2 external monitors (extended display) above my macbook pro screen.  While it is possible to configure this in my display preferences, the toolbar on my desktop prevents me from dragging anything to the external monitors.  Is there a way to disable whatever the toolbar is doing to cause this?

    I have exactly the same concern. It seems it would be a simple fix for Apple to allow users to turn off the camera (and even the mic) while keeping FaceTime open -- especially now that it turns out FaceTime must remain open in order to send and receive iPhone calls on a Mac.
    I like to think this new functionality of FaceTime will be baked into a future release of Yosemite, as the current setup has that not-quite-finished feel of a work in progress. In the meantime, there's nothing like a little piece of Post-It stuck over the camera to keep the NSA from watching your face as you type a post to the Apple Support Communities.

  • Is there a way to copy the notification rules?

    Hi,
    I am migrating to a new server and have already setup notofication rules the way I want them on the old server. Instead of resetting everything manually I would like to copy the notification setup. Is there a way to do this?
    I am working with 10GR2 and using dbconsole.
    Thanks!

    Iphone does NOT store to the SIM at all.
    You should be syncing iphone to your computer regularly so all of your contacts should be on your computer in whatever program you have chosen to sync.

  • Is there any way to customize the size of windows in the presenter display?

    I have updated keynote to the newest version (6.0). Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can customize any part of the presenter display. I can add or remove windows/panels, but not resize them. Is there really no way to do this? That would be a major drawback and would certainly make me consider going back to a 4+ year-old version of Keynote.

    Well, different people have different styles of giving different presentations to different audiences in different venues.
    When you have given a couple thousand presentations (and I mean this number literally), you know that requirements vary.  That's why a customizable presenter display was a godsend, probably the biggest selling point that Keynote had for serious presenters.
    You still can customize, turning features on and off, but you can't influence how a turned-on feature looks like size-wise.
    ("Looking over your shoulder" doesn't work in all venues, and probably would be recognized as the hallmark of an amateur presenter by most people in the audience who give a lot of presentations themselves.)
    You can export from Keynote '13 (Keynote 6) to Keynote '09 (Keynote 5).  Keynote '09 seems to run fine on Mavericks, by the way.
    Not being able to see the pointer on the presenter display when you use it to point out something on the slideshow display is one thing that was wrong in Keynote '09 and they haven't fixed in Keynote '13.
    (Now what I really want to get back is an alternative mode where I can edit the presentation on one screen and show it on the other at the same time...
    Powerpoint in Windows was great for that.  But that's a completely different style of presentation again.)

  • Is there a way to make the Toolbar Icons small size?

    There is an option in almost every app to make the tool bar icons small size. My suppress is this is not the case with AP3.
    Hard to believe.

    nope.
    all versions prior to a3 had it but for some reason they removed this option with aperture 3.

  • Is there a way to change the defaulted (press 'Enter or Return on keyboard) button in a dialog box? Specifically,

    When the cookie preference is set to "ask every time" the default button (highlighted & selected when I hit return or enter) is "allow." Can I change the default button to "allow for session" so I don't have to use the mouse to select it?

    Your question/suggestion got me thinking about making a programmable function key (PFK), but I couldn't think how to make a PFK represent a mouse click. Then I tried the option [ ⌥ ] key (I don't have Alt [⎇ ] ) and the s, with or without the shift. I tried the command [⌘] key, and finally the control [⌃] key with the s — that's the one that worked. 8¬D
    I remembered scripting radio buttons, which might apply here, but it's been too long ago.
    Thank you for pointing me in a new direction, that will do well enough 'till I find out if the default button(s) can be changed in dialog boxes in general.

  • Any way to customize the headerClick event of an Accordion control

    Hi,
    Is there any way to control the transition of the accordion
    headers. I want a confirm message to appear when a header in an
    accordion control is clicked and if the user selects Yes then only
    the accordion should open the clicked header portion else the
    previous header portion should remain open.
    I tried to override the headerClick event and its event
    Handler but both are declared as private in the Accordion class
    also the event.preventDefault doesnot function. Is there any way to
    customize the header click event handling?
    I am working on Flex version 2.0.1.
    Thanks and Regards,

    But, as said before, sharing the same session shouldn't give any problems at all. Which problems are you occurring? If you have problems with that they shares the same session, then you are apparently storing values in the session scope while they belongs in the request scope.
    Hi,
    Thanks a lot for your comment.
    But if I change the backing bean to session scope, the same problem exists.
    And i need to set the userID to session for future reference.
    the scenario is like this,
    1. I am loading the JSF application in iFrame of a .NET page and the user can invoke multiple instance of the same .Net page in different browser at a time.
    2. After loading the JSF application, the server will establish session with the browser and at that time the same session is sharing by the windows.
    3. From the JSF page i am again invoking a popup window for a wizard and this popup window will be in the same session with the parent window. So whe we invoke the popup window from the any other JSF page, it will also share the same session although the userid is different
    I have tested and the same session cookies are shared among the pages. So we need someway to manage the creation of session. By writting a servletResponseWrapper and overridding the addCookie method will have any effect?
    Or can you please suggest some other alternatives?
    Regards,
    Sudheesh

  • Is there a way to make the colour picker in the toolbar bigger?

    Hi,
    Is there a way to make the colour picker in the toolbar bigger?
    I've been using Illustrator for some time now and find this part of the software to be annoying as I frequently mis-click this tiny area and the switching between foreground and background colour is easily mismanaged and you end up changing the colour of the one you didn't intend and then have to make two clicks to remedy that.
    Do any other users find this to be a badly designed part of the software?
    Also, while I'm here I suggest that when in the colour creation dialogue the 'preview' tick can somehow be switched to on as default.
    I can understand that there are situations where it might be better not to see your colour change in the document in real time, but to have to click this (again very small) tick box again and again feels like bad design.
    ^ both the above are frequent tasks for many users
    Interested to hear if there's any work arounds to fix this.

    Thanks for the tip,
    I do use x and shift x and also / to make a no stroke or no fill. But / is a long way across the keyboard. I guess I could reassign that function to a key that's nearer x.
    I think the real annoying bit is not only the small size of the two overlapping squares, but the fact that they change size depending on which one is selected. So the button that is not selected is encroached by the one that is selected (and overlaps it). This to me seems counter to interface design - ie, make the switch button smaller. Worse still is the no fill / no stroke button; insanely tiny.
    I would gladly redesign this corner of Illustrator for Adobe, and I'm sure quite a few other people would too!
