ARM Version 1.6 6.4 Working in the Code window

RealView Debugger Desktop

6.4 Working in the Code window

This section describes how to work with the Code window:

•Floating, docking, and resizing windows and panes

•Changing the focus

•In-place editing on page 6-20

•Working with tabs on page6-21.

6.4.1 Floating, docking, and resizing windows and panes

Panes are docked to default positions in the Code window when RealView Debugger

starts in the default state. You can resize the middle pane row by dragging the upper

boundary to the required height. Similarly, drag the left boundary to a new position to

enlarge the side pane. You can enlarge the Output pane by dragging the upper boundary.

A pane is floating when it is displayed separately from the calling window and can be

moved around the desktop. To float a pane either:

• select Float from the Pane Content menu

• double-click on the pane title bar.

A floating pane is still tied to the calling window. If, for example, you float a pane from

the middle pane row and then click the Show/Hide Middle Pane control in the Code

window, the floating pane is also hidden. To restore the pane, click the Show/Hide

Middle Pane control again.

To dock a floating pane, select Dock from the Pane Content menu or double-click on

the pane title bar.

6.4.2 Changing the focus

In RealView Debugger, the focus indicates the window, or pane, where the next

keyboard input takes effect. Use a single left-click on the title bar to move the focus to

the Code window, or the pane, where you want to work. You can also move between the

File Editor pane and the Output pane using Ctrl+Tab or Shift+Ctrl+Tab.

When working with several Code windows, left-click inside a pane entry to change the

focus. The pane title bar changes color to show that it now has the focus, and the title

bar of the calling Code window is also highlight ed.

If you switch to another Code window by clicking on the title bar, the focus moves to

that window and the text insertion point is located inside the File Editor pane. If the

context of the Code window is unknown, the text insertion point is located at the

command-line prompt.
