ECB is a global minor-mode which offers a few ECB-windows for browsing your sources comfortable with the mouse and the keyboard. These "special" windows are also called tree-buffer in this manual. Every item in such a tree-buffer, i.e. every line, is also called a node of this tree-buffer. There are currently three different types of ECB-windows/tree-buffers:
In addition to these "special" ECB-windows you have always one or two edit-windows (see section 4.3 Working with the edit-window) in the ECB-frame and at the bottom a compilation-window (optional), where all the output of Emacs-compilation (compile, grep etc.) is shown (see section 4.4 Temp- and compile-buffers display in ECB).
The following "ascii-screenshot" illustrates the typical layout of the ECB-frame(2):
------------------------------------------------------------------ | | | | Directories | | | | | |--------------| | | | | | Sources | | | | | |--------------| Edit-window(s) | | | (can be splitted in two windows) | | Methods | | | | | |--------------| | | | | | History | | | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | | | Compilation-window (optional) | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
In the following subsections the "special" ECB-windows will be explained in detail.
2.1 ECB Directories Contents of the ECB Directories-buffer 2.2 ECB Sources Contents of the ECB Sources/history-buffer 2.3 ECB Methods Contents of the ECB Methods-buffer

IMPORTANT: If you hold down the SHIFT-key while clicking with the primary mouse button (see section 4.1 Working with the mouse in the ECB-windows) or RETURN (see section 4.2 Working with the keyboard in the ECB-windows) on a source row in the ECB-Sources or ECB-History windows then the source will not be displayed in the edit-window but it will be scanned in the background and all its contents (e.g. methods and variables) are listed in the ECB Methods window (see section 2.3 ECB Methods. So you can get an overlook over the source without changing the buffer in the edit-window.
