Toolbar Options not visible in Menubar

Cadist
When I toggle on Tool Options, now it goes somewhere unknown and not to the menubar.
How to fix that?
Also, is there a way to enter tool inputs in the command line?
Thanks.

Have you looked in widgets to see what tools are actively displayed?
I have found a command list online. It just takes a little searching!

Yes, Toolbar Options is checked ON under widgets.
***
The online manual alleges there is a librecad.alias file on my computer but there apparently is not.
Online search found none.
Can you post a link to the one you found?

Input box shows up now for circles and lines but not for offset. Any Help?

Exiting Print Preview closes drawing and opens a new blank drawing.
How can I leave Print Preview window and go back directly to my drawing?

In the Tools dropdown, under Modify you will find Offset. I always use the command line "o" command.

The best advice that I would give anyone is to save your drawings! I save mine in three different places.
Then just play with LibreCAD! The more you mess it up, the more you learn on how to fix it. It's not the end of the world if you have drawings saved, and
 you just give up and reload LibreCAD! Hopefully, what not to do is remembered.

Why not just using the LibreCAD manual? It is linked on the forum start page.

See https://librecad.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ref/tools.html?highlight=command for command line commands.
There is also a short-cut section, you can use the manuals search function to locate it.
I think there is also a commands table in the wiki, it has its own search function too.

The tool option bar content is dynamic. It depends on the active tool and when no tool is activated, the tool option bar is empty.
So best is to activate a tool, e.g. Angle Line and then toggle the tool option bar. Then you can easy locate it and move it to your needs. Usually it appears above the drawing area.
The tool option bar for Angle Line contains Angle, Length and Snap Point fields.
investing less than half an hour into Search function can save hours or days of waiting for a solution
