I'm shocked to find that cut, copy and paste functions are omitted from the toolbar (easily the most popular w/me). I've looked through the settings but can't figure out how to add them. How do I do that?
I've got whatever
Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers

Version: Indigo Service Release 1
Build id: 20110916-0149
for Win7 64-bit, is but I also have Eclipse for PHP.

Most developers will never notice their absence - using the buttons is
slow compared to the keyboard shortcuts.

Normally you do this by right-clicking the toolbar, then select
"Customize Perspective" -> "Tool Bar Visibility".

But this method works only with items that actually *have* a toolbar.

Looks to me like the whole "Edit" Toolbar is missing from Indigo/CDT.

Angus, if it bothers you, please report it via the CDT Bugzilla (and
remember to mention it is 'the "Edit" Toolbar for CDT').

I could, but I wonder how much attention it would get, since, from what you say, it seems I'm the only developer in the world who spends parts of the development cycle w/his chin resting in his backhand, while the mouse does all the work.

I also don't miss this buttons, but I like to have undo/redo buttons. They are also not configurable. But then I found this solution:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/819846/how-to-add-undo-redo-buttons-to-toolbar-in-eclipse

So it seems, that it is not to hard to make a micro-plugin to enable buttons. Maybe you or someone else (who has the knowledge to create simple plugins) could create such a micro plugin with cut/copy/paste buttons?

Actually I do think that the omission of the "Edit" toolbar is a bug.
You are affected by it. Please write the bug report.

Ugh! I reported it, but it's a duplicate of one that was reported 5 summers ago and is WONTFIX. I guess I'm just going to have to hand-hack it myself.

Weird... the "Edit" toolbar entries are still present in 3.6, so I
wonder why anyone should drop it willingly.

Anyway, thanks for the effort, Angus!
