| <h1>Closing an editor</h1> |
| |
| <P CLASS="Para"> Now that there are a couple of editors open, here's how to close |
| them. </P> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| <P CLASS="Para"> |
| Select the JanesFile.txt editor tab. </P> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para"> |
| In the text area add a 6th line of text:</p> |
| <blockquote> |
| <p CLASS="Para">This is a 6th line</p> |
| </blockquote> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <P CLASS="Para"> To close the editor, choose one of the following options:</P> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para"> |
| Click the close button ("X") |
| <img src="../images/Image19_close_on_tab.png" alt="Editor Tab" border="0"> |
| in the tab of the editor.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para"> Select <b>File > Close</b> from the menu bar.</p></li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <P CLASS="Para"> Note the prompt to save the file before the editor is closed.</P> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <P CLASS="Para"> Click OK to save any changes and close the editor.</P> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| <P>If the editor was closed using <b>File > Close</b>, notice that the option |
| <b>File > Close All</b> was also displayed. This is a quick way to close |
| all of the open editors. If <b>File > Close All</b> is chosen, a prompt will |
| appear to choose which editors with unsaved changes should be saved. </P> |
| |
| <P>The preference to close editors automatically can be found in the |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages.Editors)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.svg" alt="command link"> |
| <b>General > Editors</b></a> preference page. There you can configure the number of editors that |
| can be opened prior to editors being reused and what should occur when all editors |
| have unsaved changes.</P> |
