IntelliJ 13 - Add Navigate Back/Forward to toolbar?

Jetbrains changed the toolbars in IntelliJ 13.

The Navigate Back & Forward arrows, shown here, used to be in the top toolbar and easily clickable.

back/forward Now the only way I can find to access these fields is to go to Navigate -> Back or Navigate -> Forward.

Does anyone know of a way to add these back/forward locations into an always visible toolbar like they were located in IntelliJ 12?

IntelliJ IDEA 15

Show toolbar

  • Method 1

    • View > Toolbar

      enter image description here

  • Method 2

    • Press Shift 2 times > write "toolbar" and click on the "switch button" to change "OFF" in "ON":

      enter image description here

The toolbar already contains the "Back" and "Forward" buttons.

Configure toolbar

  • Method 1

    • File > Settings... > Appearance & Behavior > Menus and Toolbars > Main Toolbar > select one row and click on "Add After..." if you want to add a new button (E.g.: if you accidentally removed the Forward button and you want it back)

      enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here

  • Method 2

    • Right click on the toolbar > Customize Menus and Toolbars...

      enter image description here

    • Use the approach that is described in Method 1

The Conan's answer helped me with the same issue. 2Conan - make your comment as an answer. It helps with TS issue. Just for sure posting his answer here ...

OK, you can do this. Turn the toolbar on, with View > Toolbar. Right click it, and choose Customize Menus and Toolbars. In the Navigation Bar Toolbar folder, add the icons from Main menu > Navigate > Back / Forward, choose OK, then go and turn off the toolbar with View > Toolbar again.

For some reason the toolbar is not visible by default.

In the View menu, select Toolbar. That should fix it.

I am using Idea 13 and my toolbar already has these buttons:

IntelliJ 13 Toolbar

The icon groups are:

file | undo/redo | cut/copy/paste | font size | back/forward | compile/run | vcs | config | help | jira | tasks

You should be looking at the back/forward buttons in the 5th group.

If you want to make the toolbar visible, it's one of the checkable options on the view menu.
