7.3 Specifying the initial tools

By default the LispWorks IDE starts up with the Podium and a Listener.

If you want to see other tools each time you start the LispWorks IDE, then you can add action items in your personal initialization file, or in a saved image.

For example, to start an Editor tool, define an action on the pre-defined "Initialize LispWorks tools" action-list:

(define-action "Initialize LispWorks tools"

               "Make an Editor Tool"

               #'(lambda (screen)

                   (capi:find-interface 'lw-tools:editor

                                        :screen screen))

               :after "Create default the tools")

Note: the names of the various tools are exported in the LW-TOOLS package.
