Buttons!

[jumpjack]

We really need a toolbar! To many shortcuts to remember! Please add some buttons; probably chatgpt or others can help to quickly accomplish such a tedious task: just give them the template of the code which manages one button, and they will replicate it and adapt it in one milliseconds; same applies for icons for the buttons, just ask! :-)

Thanks, this is already on my TODO list for some time. I think we may discuss first what is required in such toolbar, e.g.

• open file
• open most recent
• insert next disk
• run/pause code
• step one instruction
• step over JSR
• step one cycle
• backward step
• rewind one frame/one second/...
• toggle warp speed
• next/previous code segment
• reset emulation counters
• clear memory markers
• reset machine
• load/save quick snapshots
• switch to load first PRG on disk insert
• switch multicolor in charset/sprites preview
• save screenshot
• toggle C64/Atari800/NES

and for Vic Editor:

• create new picture
• clear screen
• save VCE
• save as PNG
• undo/redo
• toggle c64 charset/sprite/palette/layers
• toggle sprites frames
• toggle grid
• brush rectangle/circle +/-
• block paint on color change

... what else?

I think the more "urgent" are:

For standard user:

• attach/detach disk image
• attach/detach tape image, rew, play, f.fwd buttons
• load "$"
• list
• load "*",8,1
• list
• run
• warm reset (sys 64738)
• hard reset (power cycle)
• emulation speed (slider?)

I think the current menu is a little crowded, maybe it would be more usable if differentiated depending on selected emulator

For developer:

Running:

• run/pause code
• step one instruction
• step over JSR
• step one cycle
• backward step
• rewind one frame/one second/...
• next/previous code segment
• reset emulation counters
• clear memory markers

I asked AI to create a toolbar for C64 menu...

The result is weird, but the style is intriguing, considering this is a retro-emulator!

These icons look usable:

("Datta monitory?!? :-) )

Others asked separately:

For speed tuning:

For disassembly?

Thanks :) I think we can first try to use some icons from Font Awesome:
