Playing with IntelliJ's new UI - any one know if it's possible to bring back some buttons at the top of the screen? For instance I use "Back" a lot and miss it (I should totally use the keyboard instead but old habits...)

[bod]

oh found it! Right click on one of the buttons (not the empty area!) then Customize toolbar

[Ties]

I litterally did a bug report for that as well 🤣

[bod]

yeah it's kind of an useful button 😛

[Ties]

here is how i fixed it:
Settings->Appearance & Behavior -> Menus and Toolbars
Open "Main Toolbar Center"
pless "+" -> add action
Choose from "Main Menu" -> Navigate -> Back
Choose from "Main Menu" -> Navigate -> Forward

[bod]

oh yeah makes sense that's its here too

[Ties]

And yes we should both learn shortcuts 🤣 but still

I have never taken the time to memorize shortcuts, but I use the "back" and "forward" buttons on my mouse quite a lot.

[Ties]

Same.. I never realised it, but depending on the kind of mode my brain is in i either use the mouse or the buttons :S

[bod]

alas I use an Apple trackpad and "scroll left to go back" (like on a browser) doesn't work on IJ 😞

huh. I don't think I've ever used the toolbar or mouse buttons for that, only keyboard shortcuts

[bod]

you're a wise person 😛
