WIDGETS AND LIVE TEXT

Can I set an overall default double-click action?
You can set a default double-click action to open widgets in the sidebar, a new window, a float window, or a tab. The default does not impact widgets that have a predetermined double-click action defined in their XML. The supplied default is New Window.

About this task

See Tech Note 1399534 "Adding a widget custom double-click action" for information about customizing an individual widget's double-click action.This enables you to control what action is taken when you double click on a widget in the My Widgets sidebar panel. The default will act on all widgets that do not already have a pre-defined double click action. The plugin_customization.ini file preference is com.ibm.rcp.toolbox/doubleClickAction=.

Valid values are:


For example, to set the default double-click action to open the widget action in the sidebar, add the following statement to the user's local plugin_customization.ini file:

com.ibm.rcp.toolbox/doubleClickAction=sideBar

Other options are as follows:

com.ibm.rcp.toolbox/doubleClickAction=newWindowcom.ibm.rcp.toolbox/doubleClickAction=floatcom.ibm.rcp.toolbox/doubleClickAction=tab
