| 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. |

| breadcrumb can for example be enabled in the debug perspective and be |
| disabled in the Java perspective. |
