| <h1> Using quick views </h1> |
| <p> |
| In this section, you will be introduced to the quick outline view. Quick views are in-place views which |
| are shown on top of the editor area and can easily be controlled using the keyboard. A second quick view will |
| be introduced in the <a href="qs-6.htm#quick_type_hierarchy">Type Hierarchy section</a>. |
| </p> |
| <h2>Quick Outline <a name="quick_outline"></a></h2> |
| <p>To use the quick outline view in the Java editor:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Open |
| <em>junit.samples.VectorTest.java</em> file in the Java editor |
| if you do not already have it open.</li> |
| <li> Press <kbd>Ctrl+O</kbd> or select <strong>Navigate > Quick Outline</strong> and |
| you will see an in-place outline of the current source file. <br> |

| |
| <li>Press <kbd>Ctrl+O</kbd> a second time and all inherited fields, |
| types and methods are shown as well. Inherited members are shown in grey. </li> |
| |
| <li>Start typing while the quick outline view is shown to filter the list of displayed elements. |
| Further, use the arrow keys to navigate in the outline view |
| and press <kbd>Enter</kbd> to reveal the selected element in the Java editor. <br> |

| <br> |
| The menu items can be divided into 3 categories: |
| <ul> |
| <li><em>Position</em> - Allows you to resize and move the quick view and to remember these settings</li> |
| <li><em>Filter</em> - Define filters so that not all members are shown in the quick outline.</li> |
| <li><em>Sort</em> - Sort the members by their defining type or alphabetically.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| <p><em>Note:</em> <kbd>Ctrl+O</kbd> always opens the outline for the current Java editor. |
| Press <kbd>Ctrl+O</kbd> to open the quick outline for the currently selected type. |
