I've been trying to put together a palette of useful functionality garnered from this site. There is useful stuff scattered all over the place, for example:
As an ugly, yet functional, way of putting them together, I have something like:
CreatePalette[Column[{
OpenerView[{"Duplicate Active Notebook", duplicating}, True],
OpenerView[{"Pasting a table", pasting}, True],
OpenerView[{"Copy for StackExchange", copyForStackExchange}, True]
(* etc *)
}],
WindowTitle -> "mathematica.stackexchange.com"];
where the definitions inside each OpenerView
are slight modifications of the code from the above links. (Usually just stripping off any existing palette stuff is all that is required. I did find that a single button seemed to require ImageSize -> Automatic
so it would display properly.)
So the question is, what else can I add to this?
Are there any procedures you use regularly that are suitable for a palette? Things that have made your mathematica experience easier and more productive?
Is there any enlightening information that could be continually displayed on a palette? E.g. progress bars, memory usage, cursor position?
Are there any tips and hints for beginners that could be nicely presented on a palette?
