custom toolbar icons in IDE

I've always wanted to be able to add an icon to the toolbar to run a specific application, regardless what the current schema is.

99% of the time I'm running our main application, but if I'm in a Class Browser for a different schema there's no way to run it without clicking on a window in the right schema or using the Schema Browser.

We could also add an icon to do the same thing but with the debugger enabled.

Being able to define a button on the toolbar (and perhaps an associated hotkey) that would run a specific JadeScript method would provide a lot of benefit and would cover a lot of scenarios.

This would be very useful. I could then remove all the A_RunMainApp application definitions we have sprinkled around our schemas. Having said that, it is so nice not to have to swap schema contexts to run the main application that you may want to consider using that work-around in the interim. These applications simply launch the main application and then terminate in their initialize methods. They use the result of app.isBeingDebugged() to determine whether to call app.startApplication(, ) or app.debugApplication(,) prior to the terminate statement.
