Ways to customize Dreamweaver

There are several general approaches to customizing Dreamweaver. Some of these approaches are covered in Using Dreamweaver. These approaches let you customize your workspace. You can also change settings in dialog boxes in Dreamweaver. You can set preferences in a variety of areas, including accessibility, code coloring, fonts, highlighting, and previewing in browsers, using the Preferences panel (Edit > Preferences). You can also change keyboard shortcuts, using the Keyboard Shortcut Editor (Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts).

The following list describes some of the ways you can customize Dreamweaver by editing configuration files:

• Rearrange the objects in the Insert bar, create new tabs to reorganize the objects, or add new objects. See Modifying the Insert bar.
• Change the names of menu items, add new commands to menus, and remove existing commands from menus. See Menus and Menu Commands.
