      Quick fix
    </h1>
    <p>
      For certain problems underlined with a problem highlight line, the Java editor can offer corrections. This is shown by the light bulb shown in the editor marker bar.

	</p>
     To see the correction proposals use the Quick Fix action 
    <ul>
      <li>
        Set the cursor inside the highlight range, and select&nbsp;<strong>Quick Fix</strong> from the <a href="ref-menu-edit.htm">Edit menu</a> or the context menu.
      </li>
      <li>
        Set the cursor inside the highlight range, and press Ctrl + 1
      </li>
      <li>
        Click on the light bulb
      </li>
    </ul>
<p>Quick fix is also available on a problem entry in the Problem view. The Quick Fix action will open a dialog to select the correction.
<br>
    <br>
Note that the light bulb is only a hint. It is possible that even with the light bulb shown, it turns out that no corrections can be offered.<br>
