Slick EDIT V3.3 - Manual (Page 112)

The Preview view contains the following components:
• Symbol list - This is the list of all symbols which are currently being previewed. In most cases, this is a
single symbol. In some cases, such as for the symbol under the cursor, multiple matches are shown,
such as the definition and declaration of a symbol. You can do a few things with the symbol list:
• Hover the mouse over the bitmap of any item to see a tooltip that shows the symbol’s signature and
scope.
• Click on any symbol to preview that specific symbol or it's comments.
• Right-click to adjust symbol search filtering options.
• Double-click to jump to a symbol. Press Ctrl+Comma to go back.
• You can create key bindings for the preview_next and/or preview_prev commands in order to scroll
through the items in the symbol list without using your mouse. See Creating Bindings for more in-
formation.
• File and line label - Shows the file name and line number of the selected symbol.
• Documentation comments pane - This pane displays any existing comments for the symbol that is
selected in the symbol list. If the comments are in Javadoc or XMLdoc format, they will be formatted in
HTML. You can single-click on hypertext links within the comments to follow the links, such as "See
also" sections.
• Editor preview window - Shows the contents of the actual source file at the line number of the selec-
ted symbol. Double-click to open the code in the editor. Right-click to adjust symbol search filtering op-
tions.
• Size bars - Use the size bars to adjust the width of the symbol list and/or the height of the documenta-
tion comments area.
• Buttons - The following buttons are found along the right edge of the Preview view window:
• Back and Forward - Allow you to navigate among the hypertext links that you have traversed in the
documentation comments.
• Go to definition - Opens the selected symbol in the editor.
• Go to reference - Finds references to the selected symbol.
• Show in symbol browser - Locates the selected symbol in the Symbols View (formerly known as
the Classes view).
• Manage Tag Files - Opens the Context Tagging - Tag Files Dialog for building and maintaining tag
files for indexing symbol information.
