How to hide toolbar in Eclipse 4.2?

11,540

Solution 1

Menu was gone but the command seems to be available still now.
Preferences > General > Keys
Type "toggle t" in filter text, then "Toggle Toolbar Visibility" will appear. It seems to work when some key is assigned.

Solution 2

> Window > Hide Toolbar

(I'm running 4.2.1.)

Solution 3

In 4.7.2 you can use the menu items: Window -> Appearance -> Hide Toolbar & Window -> Appearance -> Show Toolbar to toggle toolbar visibility.

    The toolbar is of no use for me, it occupies space, I use shortcuts to achieve all functions the toolbar provide. In Eclipse 3.7 we can right click the toolbar and hit "hide toolbar", but how to do that in Eclipse 4?

    Awesome, actually i type "toggle toolbar" in quick access box and press enter, the toolbar disappear, including the quick access box--just what i need. Thank you.

    That removes the entire toolbar. He needs to remove specific unusable items from toolbar.
