Messages
window, but much handier. Even
handier are the keyboard shortcuts
Ctrl+Alt+Up
and
Ctrl+Alt+Down
, which
are active from the main editor window. They let you step through (and, we
hope, fix) any compilation errors without having to jump back to the
Messages
window between edits. When you've completed your edits, click the
Rerun
icon
to try again.
