| <H1>Controlling single and double click behavior</H1> |
| |
| <p>You can control how the Workbench responds to single and double clicks. To do this: |
| </p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Open the |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages.Workbench)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png" alt="command link"> |
| <b>General</b></a> preference page.</li> |
| <li>Select the behavior you want to change from the <b>Open mode</b> group.</li> |
| <li>Click <b>OK</b>.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p>The effect of these selections varies by view. For example, in one of the navigation |
| views: </p> |
| |
| <dl> |
| <dt>Double click</dt> |
| <dd>Will cause a single click on a resource to select it, and a |
| double click to open it in an editor.</dd> |
| <dt>Single click</dt> |
| <dd>Will cause a single click on a resource to both select it and |
| immediately open an editor on it.</dd> |
| </dl> |
| |
| <p>The checkboxes under the <b>Single click</b> radio button further refine |
| the single click behavior. Checking <b>Select on hover</b> will cause the resource |
| to be selected if you hover over it with the mouse. Checking <b>Open when using |
| arrow keys</b> will cause the resource to be opened if you use the arrow keys to |
| navigate to it. |
