Please Please Please put the Code & Design View Button back in the Document bar instead of the view

Going to the View menu everytime is slowing things down a lot.

Adobe took it out a view version back and they added them back into the document bar and then again took it out. Frustrating.

Correct answer Nancy OShea

Hi Nancy, I get what you're trying to show us, the problem is when we click the "Document" in Toolbars, nothing happens. it feels like a bug or something.

In DW CC, make certain your local site folder is defined by going to Site > Manage Sites... Enter a site folder on your primary hard drive.

If you can't see the Document toolbar, it's probably hidden for some reason. Maybe you're not using an expanded application frame. Try Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + F11 to toggle between Design & Live view.

If you continue to have problems, close DW and Restore Preferences.

I am having the same issues with mac mini system 10.15.4 . DW 2020 15211 Build.

This is getting so frustrating. I have to double click to select entire chunks of code or text and then use my arrow keys to get to where I want to edit, even for single words.

I would also love, no beg, please put the code-design & split buttons back in the window bar.

I branched this to a new discussion for you. The old one was already correctly answered.

The Document Toolbar is in your Window menu. See Screenshots.

Click & drag left side handles of toolbar until you see a blue line, then release. Toolbar will dock inside your application frame.

If you're having trouble editing in Live View, switch to Design view.

It would be a good idea for you to create a custom workspace, save it and Enable Automatic Sync from Preferences. See screenshot. When you upgrade to a newer version, your synced settings can be imported from the cloud.

I think that's the secret sauce you're missing.

Post back if you have any questions.

I'll take a look at that, but it doersn't make sense. If this is the case then how would I add those button to the file window now again ?

As nancy has stated:

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

Code | Split | Live/Design is in the Document Toolbar. See screenshot.

To activate it, go to Window > Toolbars...

Also see customizing your Workspace.
