Display Mode in Eclipse

Former Member — Thu, 14 May 2015 09:00:57 GMT

hi All,

Is it possible open any program or function in Display mode or read only mode in Eclipse Editor?

we are moving towards the use of Eclipse editor for abap development and our team members are really missing that feature?

Regards,

Zubin Sadadiwala

hmm, in default it's in display mode until you will not try to change anything inside. If you do some changes then Eclipse will try to lock the program and if this will be succesful then lock icon will be shown on the tab with program/function name. If you lock program by mistake, for example when you will hit space or your mouse will go crazy while over the code then you can always use Ctrl + U to unlock.

Hope this helps.

i know that, but in my team, all developer want dedicated display mode and change mode feature.

they want, if program is in display mode then it should not be editable until mode is changed manually to "Change mode" same as SAP GUI

Is it possible in Eclipse?

No, I don't think it is possible at the moment.

Hi Zubin,

no, this is not possible in Eclipse. You go into the edit mode automatically when you do a change in the editor. There might be situations where you hit a wrong key and go by accident in the edit mode.

Then you can use CTRL-U to switch back to display mode.

Thomas.
