SYMBOL BROWSING
• Add Member Function, Add Member Variable, and Add Virtual Function - (C/C++ only) When
these options are selected for a class, you are prompted with a dialog to type a member function,
member variable, or virtual function to be added into the source code at the top of the current
class.
• Organize imports - (Java only) Organizes import statements in Java files. See Organize Imports
for more information.
• Go to Tag - Moves the cursor to the selected tag. See Symbol Navigation for more information.
• References - Brings the References tool window into focus, displaying the references for the
symbol. See References Tool Window for more information.
• Set Breakpoint - Sets a debugging breakpoint. See Setting Breakpoints for more information.
• Show in Symbol Browser - Jumps to the member in the symbol browser. See Symbols Tool
Window for more information.
• Increase/Decrease Listed Members Limit - Controls the number of members displayed in the
members pane. When this option is selected, the command line will prompt you for a variable
value. The default is 400.
• Sort Classes By Hierarchy and Sort Classes By Name - These options toggle the display of
classes sorted either by hierarchy or alphabetically by name.
• Sort Members By Line Number and Sort Members By Name - These options toggle the display
of members sorted either by line number or alphabetically by name.
• Organize Members By Class - Groups the members in the members pane by their class (or
interface). When this option is selected, all “Sort” options are available. When this option is not
selected, visible members in this pane will not be grouped at all. They will instead be displayed in
one list, sorted by name.
• Auto Expand All Top Level Classes - Expands all top level class nodes in the members pane
whenever the current class changes. The default behavior is to only auto-expand the node of the
current class.
• Auto Expand All Structs/Enums/Inner Classes - Expands all struct, enum, and inner class
nodes displayed in the members pane whenever the content is refreshed. By default this option is
turned off, and these nodes are collapsed.
• Quick Filters and Scope Filters - Quick filters allow you to display only certain items in the
members pane, such as functions, prototypes, etc. Scope filters allow you to display members
only in certain scopes, such as public or global, private, protected, etc.
Current Context Tool Window
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.
By default, the tool window is docked in the top upper-right section of the editor. Display can be toggled on/
off by clicking View > Toolbars > Current Context or by using the toggle_context command. To display
the tool window on demand, use the activate_context command.
