| a context menu or through key bindings. To select an element in the breadcrumb either click on it or press |
| <strong>Alt+Shift+B</strong> in the Java editor and then use the <strong>left</strong> and <strong>right</strong> |
| arrow keys. |

| With the breadcrumb it is also possible to navigate to other elements in the workspace: Click on one of the |
| arrows or any element to open a drop down window. The drop down shows all siblings |
| of the element for which the drop down was opened. To open an element click on it. To open the drop down with the keyboard, |
| select an element and press the <strong>down</strong> arrow key. |
| </p> |

| The enablement of the breadcrumb is remembered for each perspective. The breadcrumb can for example be enabled |
| in the debug perspective and be disabled in the Java perspective. |
