Add an action as one of the ToolWindow Options
Answered
Dear Team,
Can someone highlight how can I customise the options list in a ToolWindow Plugin?
By adding my action to the ActionGroup named “ActiveToolwindowGroup”, the action gets added in the same hierarchy as the three dotted lines (just before the vertical dotted lines) and not as one of the options present as part of the vertical dotted lines.
1.) How can I add one more option to the existing options? Which group should I add my action to such that I can list my action (along with existing options) on click of the three vertical dotted lines?
2.) Can I replace existing options by my new option?
When I say my option or new option, I mean an action.

Hi,
com.intellij.openapi.wm.ToolWindow#setAdditionalGearActions. See an example: https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/master/platform/external-system-impl/src/com/intellij/openapi/externalSystem/view/ExternalProjectsViewImpl.java#L2351. Thanks, I'll check this out.
2. In case we wanted to override them with our single option, I thought it would be better to have this clarified. I too felt the same. I was giving this a thought a few hours ago as in, such options give users the flexibility to play around with the tool window without pinning it. Hence, I think I can leave this.
