A window can be moved and sized using the mouse and the keyboard.
To move a window:
- Using the mouse, click on the title bar and drag the window with the mouse.
- Using the keyboard, go into the size/move mode by pressing Ctrl-F5 or selecting
the menu item ”Window—Size/Move”. The window frame will change to green to
indicate that the IDE is in size/move mode. Now the cursor keys can be used to move
the window. Press Enter to leave the size/move mode. In this case, the window will
keep its size and position. Alternatively, pressing Esc will restore the old position.
To resize a window:
- Using the mouse, click on the lower right corner of the window and drag it.
- Using the keyboard, go into the size/move mode by pressing Ctrl-F5 or selecting
the menu item ”Window—Size/Move”. The window frame will change to green
to indicate that the IDE is in size/move mode. Now hold down the SHIFT key and
press one of the cursor keys in order to resize the window. Press Enter to leave the
size/move mode. Pressing Esc will restore the old size.
Not all windows can be resized. This applies, for example, to dialog windows (section 6.3.4, page
183).
A window can also be hidden. To hide a window, the Ctrl-F6 key combination can be used, or
the ”Window—Hide” menu may be selected. To restore a Hidden window, it is necessary to
select it from the window list. More information about the window list can be found in the next
section.
