Using MarkerMover with KBar

MarkerMover is configured for use with KBar — simply change the ‘Script function or argument’ value (see screenshot below) to change the function of the KBar button. You will need to relink the script file field to point to the installed MarkerMover.jsxbin file. There are provided icons for each of these functions.

If you are using KBar3, there is a .kbar file included for easy import of the toolbar buttons.
