When you test a task that includes interaction with a window, Task Builder minimizes to allow the steps to proceed. To aid in testing the task, the Debug toolbar displays in a separate window while the task runs. There is also a set of shortcut keys that can be used when testing a task. These are listed in the Debug toolbar options page, and are active only while a task is being run/tested in Task Builder. You can change the shortcut keys to any desired key combinations not already in use, and you can change the position of the Debug toolbar on the screen.
To set Debug toolbar options
Do one of the following:
On Task Builder Ribbon, click the Application button located on the top left corner of the Task Builder window and click the Preferences button. From the Preferences window that appears, click the Debug Toolbar tab (as shown below).
OR
On the Tools menu, click Editor Options. From the Preferences window that appears, click the Debug Toolbar tab (as shown below).
To hide the debug toolbar, clear the Show toolbar at check box.
To change the display position of the toolbar, ensure the check box is selected and select a position from the drop-down menu below.
To control whether the toolbar remains on top, select or clear the Always on top check box.
To change any of the toolbar shortcut keys, select the desired toolbar hot-key and press the desired keys.
Click OK when finished in order to save changes.
