While Emacs already has good editing + support for many modes, its browsing support is somewhat lacking. That's + where ECB comes in: it displays a number of informational windows that allow + for easy source code navigation and overview. + + The informational windows can contain: + + * A directory tree, + * a list of source files in the current directory, + * a list of functions/classes/methods/... in the current file, (ECB uses + the Semantic Bovinator, or Imenu, or etags, for getting this list so all + languages supported by any of these tools are automatically supported by + ECB too), + * a history of recently visited files, + * the Speedbar and + * output from compilation (the compilation window) and other modes like + help, grep etc. or whatever a user defines to be displayed in this + window. + + As an added bonus, ECB makes sure to keep these informational windows + visible, even when you use C-x 1 and similar commands. + + It goes without saying that you can configure the layout, ie. which + informational windows should be displayed where. ECB comes with a number of + ready-made window layouts to choose from. +</longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
