Hello,

CTRL-TAB switches the editor between .h and .cpp files. This is wonderful, thank you.

Problem:

I sometimes click in things that are not the editor such as the output window (to goto next error). When this happens the focus is no longer in the editor window and CTRL-TAB no longer works.

Question:

How to I get CTRL-TAB to switch between .h and .cpp even after I click in the output window (or any other window/panel/tab/screen/object/color/menu/button/widget/etc)?

Answer:

a) This is impossible
b) Window | preferences | general | keys | Toggle Source/Header | When | "ALWAYS"
c) Window | preferences | general | keys | Toggle Source/Header | When | In Dialogs And Windows
d) Why don't you try writing your own IDE if you think it's so easy you lazy bum
e) [your answer here]

(b) is a trick answer. There is no "ALWAYS" option
(c) did not work either

Thank you,

Chris

The answer should be c)
However, I does not work for every window (Project Explorer OK, but not Problems View etc.). I guess to get it working for all kind of windows you need to modify the CDT source code.

Before you ask
- search this forum
- see the FAQ http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/FAQ
- google
