I just purchased version 11, upgrade from 5.5 I have not used in years due to it not being compatible with win7 +. I started using clarion back in the dos days which led to my first programming job with a major corporation, and of course back in the 90’s it was IBM/SQL/AS400 environment and soon I didn’t have time to focus on Clarion. I did, on that job, interface Object Oriented programming, using IBM tools, with the AS/400 using SQL to create the data files. Anyway, enough of that.

Those open the Procedure and jump direct to certain tabs or buttons. I never use them, I double-click and open the procedure then select what I want.
There is also a Right-Click context menu with similar choices plus a few more like Rename and Delete:
Clarion 11 added 2 buttons that open the Embeditor with All or Filled embeds. Because they are on the toolbar they are available from all tabs.

Also be sure to try the Toolbar buttons that change the Tree Mode. They are faster than the Tree Mode drop list. The icons don’t make a lot of sense but the positions do: 1st is Tree, 2nd is Module, Last is by Date. Those are the ones I use most. It just takes a few hours to learn them.
I forgot about a favorite tool GifCap.dev that does screen capture videos without installing, you give permission to share your screen with the web page. An Animated GIF makes this a bit more obvious.
[ToolbarTreeMode2]
GifCap has the option to grab a Screen (monitor) or Window. If I just grab the Clarion window then the tool tips do not get captured so I grabbed the Screen. It has an easy way to drag a crop rectangle over the capture so I end up with just part of Clarion.
