Class
Docked as a tab on the left side of the editor by default, the Class tool window provides an outline view of
both the members of the current class as well as any visible inherited members. This tool window also
shows the inheritance hierarchy of the current class. This is useful for object-oriented programming
languages such as Java. In addition to the menu item, you can activate or toggle this window by using the
activate_tbclass or toggle_tbclass commands. See Class Tool Window for more information.
Clipboards
Allows you to preview and manage clipboards. Shows a list of recently used clipboards and lets you insert
a clipboard into the current buffer. The tool window contains a Preview area that lets you see the entire
contents of a clipboard with color coding. In addition to the View > Toolbars > Clipboards menu item,
there are several other ways to display the tool window:
• Using the menu item Edit > List Clipboards (Ctrl+Shift+V or list_clipboards command)
• Using the activate_clipboards command
• Toggle the window with the toggle_clipboards command
See Clipboards for more information.
Code Annotations
Code Annotations allow you to store information about code–such as task notes, personal comments, and
review comments–without actually modifying the code. This tool window provides a detailed view of
annotations that you have created as well as operations for adding, modifying, and removing annotations.
You can also use the tool window to create your own annotation types. See Code Annotations for more
information.
Current Context
Docked in the top upper-right section of the editor by default, Current Context displays the logical location
of the cursor within your code. If it is within a class, it displays the class name. If it is within a function, it
displays the function name. If the function is within a class, it displays the class and the function name. See
Current Context Tool Window for more information.
Defs
Docked as a tab on the left side of the editor by default, the Defs (Definitions) tool window contains the defs
browser, which provides an outline view of symbols in the current workspace. In addition to the menu item,

Tool Window for more information.
