Toolbox

The tools in the toolbox can be accessed by double-clicking, right clicking and choosing "Run", or by dragging elements from the Navigation Area to an item in the Toolbox.

In addition, a Launch button (Image launch_16_n_p) enables quick launch of tools in CLC Genomics Workbench. You can also press Ctrl + Shift + T (Image command_key_web + Shift + T on Mac) to show the quick launch dialog (see figure 2.16).

When the dialog is opened, you can start typing search text in the text field at the top. This will bring up the list of tools that match this text either in the name, description or location in the Toolbox. In the example shown in figure 2.17, typing create shows a list of tools involving the word "create", and the arrow keys or mouse can be used for selecting and starting a tool.
