Java Reference
In-Depth Information
One useful keyboard shortcut that allows us to quickly navigate within a large Java
ile is
Ctrl
+
F12
. This keyboard shortcut switches focus to the
Navigator
window,
which displays an outline of the current Java file and shows all its methods and
member variables.
When the
Navigator
window has focus, we can simply start typing to narrow down
the list of member variables and methods shown. This keyboard shortcut makes it
very fast to navigate through large files.
Hitting
Alt
+
F12
will open the
Hierarchy
window, which outlines the class hierarchy
of the current Java class.
We can use the previous shortcut to quickly navigate to a superclass or a subclass of
the current class.
