| Opening an Editor on a Type |
| </h1> |
| <p> |
| You can open an editor on any type in the workbench. |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Press <strong>Ctrl+Shift+T</strong> or, select |
| <strong>Navigate</strong> > <strong>Open Type</strong> from the menu |
| bar. The Open Type dialog opens. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>In the <strong>Enter type name prefix or pattern</strong> field, |
| begin typing an expression to narrow the list of available types, using |
| wildcards as needed. As you type, the list is filtered to display only |
| types that match the current expression. CamelCase notation is also |
| supported; that means you only need to enter the capital letters of the |
| type name. |
| </li> |
| <li>In the <strong>Matching items</strong> list, select a type. Hint: you |
| can press the <strong>Down</strong> key to move to the first type. |
| </li> |
| <li>Click <strong>OK</strong> when you are done. An editor opens on the |
| selected type. |
| </li> |
| |
| </ol> |
| <p> |
| <strong>Note:</strong> The Open Type dialog maintains a history of |
| recently opened types. These are shown when the dialog is opened and stay |
| above a separator line when you start to type a filter expression. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <strong>Note:</strong> If you open a type from a CLASS or JAR file, you |
| will see a special editor showing only method signatures unless you have |
| attached source to it. |
