Työkalurivillä

Työkalurivillä, known in English as a toolbar, is a graphical user interface element found in many software applications. It typically consists of a row or column of icons or buttons that represent frequently used commands or functions. The purpose of a toolbar is to provide quick and easy access to these actions, streamlining the user's workflow and reducing the need to navigate through menus.

Toolbars can vary significantly in their design and content depending on the application. Common elements include buttons for saving, opening, printing, cutting, copying, pasting, and undoing. They may also feature tools specific to the application's functionality, such as drawing tools in a graphics program or formatting options in a word processor. Some toolbars are customizable, allowing users to add or remove buttons to suit their preferences. The visual appearance of toolbars often includes small graphical representations (icons) that intuitively suggest the action they perform. In some cases, tooltips may appear when a cursor hovers over a button, providing a text description of its function. Toolbars can be docked to the edges of the application window or float freely, offering flexibility in user interface arrangement. Their presence is a staple of modern graphical user interfaces, contributing to usability and efficiency.
