| Quick Fix and Quick Assist |
| </h1> |
| <p> |
| For most problems underlined with a problem highlight line, the Java editor can offer corrections. This is shown by the light bulb shown in the editor marker bar. |
| </p> |

| </p> |
| To see the correction proposals use the Quick Fix action |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Set the cursor inside or near the highlight range, and select <strong>Quick Fix</strong> from the <a href="../reference/ref-menu-edit.htm">Edit menu</a> or the context menu. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Set the cursor inside or near the highlight range, and press Ctrl + 1 |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Click on the light bulb |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>Quick fix is also available on a problem entry in the Problems view. The Quick Fix action will open a dialog to select the correction. |
| <br> |
| <br> |
| Note that the light bulb is only a hint. It is possible that even with the light bulb shown, it turns out that no corrections can be offered.<br> |
| A overview of quick fixes available in the Java editor can be found <a |
| href="../reference/ref-java-editor-quickfix.htm">here</a>.<br> |
| |
| |
| <br>Quick Assists are proposals available even if there is no problem or warning. They use the same short cut and action like Quick Fix. Quick assists |
| are used for local code manipulations. See the <a |
| href="../reference/ref-java-editor-quickassist.htm">Quick assist</a> reference for more information.</p> |
