| <h1>Toggle Function Definition</h1> |
| <p> |
| Use the <strong>Refactor > Toggle Function Definition</strong> |
| command to toggle the location where a function is defined. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| In an Editor window, place the cursor inside a function declaration |
| or definition, then run <strong>Refactor > Toggle |
| Function Definition</strong> from the context menu. Any cursor position |
| between the first and the last characters of the function definition |
| (but not including comments preceding the function) will cause that |
| function to be selected for the refactoring. |
| </p> |

| </p> |
| <p>This refactoring switches a function definition from a header |
| file to a correspondingly-named implementation file. If the necessary |
| file does not exist, it will be created (after a confirmation |
| dialog).</p> |
| <p> |

| </p> |
| <p>For methods, it can also switch the method from being defined |
| within its parent class declaration to being defined using an inline |
| definition in the same header file.</p> |
