Toolbar Buttons

We make extensive use of the right mouse button. Most functions have naturally paired operations.  Most paired functions are natural opposites (like left/right, in/out, first/last, previous/next).  Others are not opposites but still naturally paired (like X/Y). We take advantage of this symmetry to double up the functions of most buttons and other clicks.  This not only reduces desktop usage but also results in more natural, easier to remember functions.

For example, rather than having separate SEARCH LEFT and SEARCH RIGHT buttons, we have a SEARCH button. Left clicking the button will SEARCH LEFT; right clicking will SEARCH RIGHT.

After only a few minutes of use, this becomes much more natural than using separate buttons.  Switching directions involves pressing different mouse buttons rather than moving the mouse to a new button in the application.  All buttons in the tool bar above the Waveform View are dual-function.  Additionally, you will find that left and right clicking on the " < " and " > " symbols, Active Marker column and various other buttons will perform similarly paired functions.
