Build and Run buttons in the toolbar

Currently, in order to run a launcher we need to:
1. right-clink on the name of the project
2. navigate to Run (or Debug)
3. click on the name of the launcher

It would be much easier if running or debugging a launcher were possible as we currently do for the default launcher/project:
1. using keyboard shortcuts (this might be tricky for launchers)
2. using the Run/Debug menu items (might be tricky as well, maybe a sub-menu)
3. using the buttons in the Run toolbar
4. using another toolbar (Launchers)

About option #3 above, the buttons for Run and Debug have a sub-menu. Custom launchers may be listed there.

About option #4 above, a new toolbar could be provided by default and every new custom launcher is added there with an option to choose Run or Debug.

Also it would be good if the Dialog window for configuring launchers were like all the other project options windows, with help text and list of the variable that can be used in every field (at the moment we have to go to the source file and read it manually). For intance, I use CND_CONF variable, but that is not mentioned anywhere in the GUI.

Thanks,
Marco

Hi Marco,

Use code completion in fields (Ctrl+Space).
Also see tool tip on Environment Variables label.
