    i don’t think you can toggle doc switcher with the customize toolbar plugin.
    only menu items can be selected, but not items in a settings window.

    it would be cool though, to show/hide doc switcher quicker than to go to the settings every time.

      @Meta-Chuh Of course it would be more convenient, this option should also be present in the “view menu”

        I found this solution, and it works … but as always I want to simplify the solution … and not complicate it))

          That’s exactly the meaning of point 3. in my list above:

          four menu strings and an optional .bmp icon file name

          Please note: It says “four menu strings”, so the nesting depth of suitable menu entries can only be 4.

              Also can do it via Pythonscript:

              notepad.showDocSwitcher(boolean)

                No, the cause of your problem was that you tried to toggle settings in the preferences dialog. That’s not the intended use case of the Customize Toolbar plugin.

                Mentioning the 4 menu strings was meant to be as a hint that you maybe should read the specs of the plugin more thoroughly before further experiments.

                BTW: Your first screenshot concerning the issue showed three hammer icons, the default symbol for not assignable icons (e.g. icon file not found or wrong icon file format).

                    Hmmmm…

                    Install Pythonscript plugin
                    Create new script, call it ShowDocSwitcher.py
                    In body of script, put notepad.showDocSwitcher(True)
                    Save script
                    To run script, go to Plugins > Pythonscript > Scripts and select ShowDocSwitcher
                    DOC SWITCHER WINDOW IS SHOWN
                    Optional: Create shortcut or toolbar button for script

                    Create another new script, call it HideDocSwitcher.py
                    In body of script, put notepad.showDocSwitcher(False)
                    Save script
                    To run script, go to Plugins > Pythonscript > Scripts and select HideDocSwitcher
                    DOC SWITCHER WINDOW IS HIDDEN
                    Optional: Create shortcut or toolbar button for script

                    :^P

                      I’m using the LuaScript plugin to toggle the Doc Switcher:

                      1. add the following lines to startup.lua:
                      npp.AddShortcut("Toggle Doc Switcher", "", function()
                          npp:ShowDocSwitcher( not npp:IsDocSwitcherShown() )
                      end)
                      
                      1. create a DocSwitcher image (i.e. Toolbar-DocSwitcher.bmp) for the toolbar and put it in the same directory as CustomizeToolbar.btn.
                      2. add the following line to CustomizeToolbar.btn:
                      Plugins,LuaScript,Toggle Doc Switcher,,Toolbar-DocSwitcher.bmp
                      
                      1. restart Notepad++
                      2. show or hide the Doc Switcher by clicking one toolbar button

                      et Voila

                        @MAPJe71 It works!

                        But … it should be a standard option in the view menu … or do you disagree?

                          OK, the GitHub link @andrecool-68 provided already pointed to a description of how I did it.
                          Did not remember that.
                          What can I say: “Now also available for Notepad++ 64 bit!” :-D

                          @andrecool-68 I agree, same toolbar button functionality as the build-in Function List toolbar button i.e. indicating active/inactive by changing the button background color.
