Tabbed toolbar customization

[olibclarke@…]

The following bug report has been submitted:
Platform:        Darwin-18.5.0-x86_64-i386-64bit
ChimeraX Version: 0.9 (2019-04-30)
Description
I love the new tabbed toolbar! Would it be possible to add a "Custom" or "Favorites" tab for users to add their own custom selection of shortcuts, aliases or buttons? Similar to the customization of the toolbars in original Chimera?

Cheers
Oli

Yes, the plan is for the Home tab to be completely customizable. We also plan to allow individual tabs to be hidden. It is still a work in progress.

[Tristan Croll]

Also very interested in this - would be great to move a lot of ISOLDE's menu functions up there.

We don't have the mechanism in place yet to for bundles to add to the application toolbar. But, you can have your own toolbar in a tool. The "widget" is in chimerax.ui.widgets.tabbedtoolbar. The API won't change for 0.9, but will evolve as the application toolbar evolves.

[Greg Couch]

Made progress. All buttons except for the mouse modes, which are hardwired, are given the bundle meta data. And the Home tab buttons are all links to other buttons. So the mechanisms for customization are in place.

[Greg Couch]

The first usable version of the Home tab customization dialog will be available in the next successful daily build. To get the dialog, right mouse click in the toolbar area, and choose Settings... -- this technique is shared with other tools. Eventually, that dialog will become a tab in the Favorites / Settings... dialog.

[Greg Couch]

Done, modulo macOS Qt errors rearranging sections.
