Switch Outline View behavior in ADT from click to double click

[frankmueller9]

Hello,

I'm using the ADT to create AMDP Methods. I often have to copy the name of the class and the method name that I want to call.

I prefer to copy it from the outline view instead of the package explorer, because it has less data than the package explorer. But as soon as I click on the method name, then the source code switches to this method.

Is there a setting, where I can switch this behavior from click to double click?

Best regards

Frank

Hi Frank,

in the menu of the outline view, you can disable the option "Link with Editor".

This disables also the navigation to the editor by just selecting an entry in the outline. The navigation is executed if you double click an entry.

On the other hand (and this might be a drawback of this proposal), no selection in the outline would be set if "Link with Editor" was disabled and you put the cursor (e.g.) in a method implementation.

I hope this information helps.

Best regards,
Michael

Hello Michael,

thank you very much for your reply.

I know this function and it is unfortunately not what I'm looking for. The outline has the advantage, that I see on one view only the methods of the current class. In the project explorer I see the methods of the current class and the other classes of the package. So it takes a little bit more time to find the right method. It is just a thing of look and feel. 😉

Best regards

Hi Frank,

In my answer I was using the Outline view not Project Explorer. The Outline view also provides the option to enable and disable link with editor. It is just more hidden (behind the button with the three dots; see my screenshot) in the Outline view.

Best regards,
