My suggestion would be to have shift+click use the other mode, or add a context menu, or both. /s/ Adam On Thu, Mar 25, 2010 at 9:16 AM, Stephen Chu step...@ju-ju.com wrote: I notice that the 2 run and debug buttons are now merged into 1.

Re: [Qt-creator] Run Debug buttons in the latest snapshots
What about a tool button which remembers the last state (debug/run/etc.) with a click-and-hold action which produces all of the available options, then changes the default button when one is selected? Or is that what you meant by context menu? -Mark Coda Highland wrote: My suggestion would be to have shift+click use the other mode, or add a context menu, or both. /s/ Adam On Thu, Mar 25, 2010 at 9:16 AM, Stephen Chu step...@ju-ju.com wrote: I notice that the 2 run and debug buttons are now merged into 1.

Re: [Qt-creator] Run Debug buttons in the latest snapshots
That's a lot of talk for just a button. Can we just have both of them back? The old design works. Why change it? Small screens, I imagine -- netbooks don't have a lot of vertical screen real estate, so the less you put there, the better. /s/ Adam ___ Qt-creator mailing list Qt-creator@trolltech.com http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
