Customization
Close Window On Exit
When this box is checked, Tornado closes the window associated with your
tool when the command is done. This only applies when you also check the
Redirect to Child Window box to redirect command output to a child window.
Macros for Customized Menu Commands
The pop-up menu opened by the buttons to the right of the text boxes provides
several macros for your use in custom menu commands. These macros allow you
to write custom commands that are sensitive to the context in the editor, or to the
global Tornado context. For example, there are macros for the full path of the file
in the active editor window, and for useful fragments of that file’s name. Table 8-2
lists macros for editor context; in this table, the phrase active file refers to the file that
is currently selected in the project facility.
