| <H1>Moving and docking views</H1> |
| |
| <p>To change the location of a view in the current perspective: |
| </p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Drag the view by its title bar. Do not release the left |
| mouse button yet.</li> |
| <li>As you move the view around the Workbench, the mouse pointer |
| changes to one of the <i>drop cursors</i> shown in the table below. The drop |
| cursor indicates where the view will be docked if you release the left mouse |
| button. To see the drop cursor change, drag the view over the left, right, |
| top, or bottom border of another view or editor.</li> |
| <li>When the view is in the location that you want, relative to |
| the view or editor area underneath the drop cursor, release the left mouse |
| button.</li> |
| <li>(Optional) If you want to save your changes, select |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.savePerspective")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png"> |
| <b>Window > Save Perspective As...</b></a> from the main menu bar.</li> |
| <li>Note that a group of stacked views can be dragged using the empty space to |
| the right of the view tabs.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p>You can also move a view by using the pop-up menu for the view. (Left-click |
| on the icon at the left end of the view's title bar, or right-click anywhere |
| else in the view's title bar). |
