How Do You Easily Get Rid of the Library Window?


Enoch

Recommended Posts

In Accordance 11,

after you activate the library, & it appears in a vertical column at the left of the screen, is there some way to just get rid of the thing without going up to the Window menu, bringing it down, then clicking on Library?

 

Is there some X somewhere on the Library pane that lets you X it out? I don't find a right click command. There was a "clear" thing at the top, but clicking on clear doesn't clear it out.

 

Is there not some easy way to toggle the Library as present vs absent as a window/pane on the screen?

Command + Option + 1 will toggle then library on or off

Alternatively you can customize the toolbar and put the library icon on the menu to use that as an on/off button. Right click the toolbar to bring up the customize menu.

Or you could toggle the option to show the Library as a popover; that way it disappears automatically when it loses focus, or after you select a module from it.

I think because you either click the library icon or use ⌘+ ⌥ + 1 to bring up the library window.

In the first case, the library icon is visible, there is no need to put an X.

In the second case, you may have hid the tool bar, but you already no the shortcut. Therefore this is probably the way you want to use to close the window as well.

Just guess the logic behind it. :)

I suspect this is NSPopover behaviour defined in Cocoa. It's just how the thing is defined to work. There are a few options and I think the one used is to set the behaviour so that the window goes away if you click somewhere else. Something of a guess but that's my best guess.

 

Actually that would be how it would be on OSX. Windows not sure but the principle is probably emulated if there is no native support - but there probably is.

Thanks for your judgment, Daniel. You really are helpful.

However, in this case I have found that the triple key short cut works well enough in the absence of an X.

Hi Enoch, do you have the toolbar hidden? If you are saving space, reduce the toolbar to just text. Then you can exit the Library just by clicking on the text label again plus you still have access to the Research bar. If you must hide the toolbar, then you have your shortcut.

Thanks for the response. Now what is a "text label"?

It is a label that is just text without an icon. You have the option of setting the tool bar to Icon only, Icon and text Label, or text label only.

Hi Enoch, exactly as Jeremy says. If you ctrl-click on the toolbar (mac) or right click (win) you should see something like the following images, which you can modify per the menu selections. Note how the toolbar changes in each image. The third option is the one I was describing.
