Q: Typing in Eclipse [message #59782] Fri, 29 April 2005 14:43 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
(Sorry - crossposted to USENET but got no replies)

If I am in the Package Explorer in Eclipse (Version: 3.1.0, Build id:
I20050401-1645), and I start typing, a textfield opens at the
lower-right corner of the window and the text that I type appears in
this box. When I hit return, nothing happens except that the textfield
disappears.

What is the function of this textfield?

Thanks, Ralph

Ralph, I assume you are using the GTK version of eclipse. GTK has
generic search on lists and trees that you can invoke by pressing Ctrl+F
or simply by typing away.

This feature is not supported by eclipse, however, so pressing Return
after entering a search expression does not do anything.
