Eclipse Questions

[Brent Neal-5]

I am trying to learn Eclipse for writing Java programs.  I have the following questions:
1.  How do you close a view, such as the edit view or problems view, using keyboard commands?
2.  How do you open more than one edit view at a time?
3.  How do you get to the toolbar using keyboard commands?
4.  In Eclipse help I can get to:
workbench users guide
getting started
basic tutorial
this tutorial provides ...
But I cannot get to the actual tutorial.  How do you get to the tutorial.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I am trying to learn Eclipse for writing Java programs.  I have the
following questions:
1.  How do you close a view, such as the edit view or problems view,
using keyboard commands?
[ROS] alt minus (to drop a menu) and select "Close."
2.  How do you open more than one edit view at a time?
[ROS] You open a new edit view every time you open an item from the
Package Explorer.  You can cycle through the open edit windows with F6
and shift F6 just like F7 and shift F7 cycle through views.
3.  How do you get to the toolbar using keyboard commands?
[ROS] Which tool bar?  There seem to be a lot of them.  Perhaps you mean
the context menus? -- applications key or shift+F10.
4.  In Eclipse help I can get to:
workbench users guide
getting started
basic tutorial
this tutorial provides ...
But I cannot get to the actual tutorial.  How do you get to the
tutorial.
[ROS] I'm using an older version (3.1.2) on this machine, and my help
screen does not look like your description.  One trick to try is
pressing enter on the item you want, and then if nothing happens, try
pressing F6 to toggle back and forth between the contents and the actual
help text.
Thanks in advance for your help.
[ROS] No sweat -- good luck.

alt+- for view menu, c for close

> 2.  How do you open more than one edit view at a time?

Every time you open a file, it will get added to the edit ring. use
ctrl+f6 to cycle among open edit windows. This works like alt+tab in
windows unless you check the following preference which will cause a list
view to pop up that you can navigate with the arrow keys:
window>preferences>general>Keep next/previous part dialog open


> 3.  How do you get to the toolbar using keyboard commands?
In most views, you just tab to it. In the editor, I don't know. But, I
have never needed or wanted to use the toolbar buttons in the editor as
there are efficient ways to do everything without it. In fact, I rarely
use toolbar buttons in any view.

I configured the Help system to use IE for the browser using
window>preferences>help>Use external browser

For JAWS users, how do you detect errors in the code? E.g., when there is a
syntax error on the line, I understand Eclipse shows an icon at typing-time
and a tip/suggestion can be displayed.
Is there a way to access this on the fly?

Thanks.
