| Moving and docking views |
| </h1> |
| <p> |
| To change the location of a view in the current perspective: |
| </p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Drag the view by holding its tab. 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>, providing <i>feedback</i> on where |
| where the view will be docked if you release the left mouse button. |
| To see the drop feedback, drag the view over the left, right, top, |
| or bottom border of another view or editor. You may also drag |
| the view <i>outside</i> of the Workbench area to turn it into a |
| "Detached" view. |
| </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" |
| alt="command link" /> <b>Window > Perspective > Save Perspective As...</b></a> |
| from the main menu bar. |
| </li> |
| <li>Note that a group of stacked views can be moved by holding and dragging the empty |
| space to the right of the view tabs. |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| <p> |
| While dragging the view, you will see an overlay to indicate <i>where the view will be positioned</i>. |
