Mac Forum / Programming / CodeWarrior / December 2003What is the replacement for the old Command-Tilda?
Until a few versions ago, the CodeWarrior IDE had a feature I often used and sorely miss: Command-Tilda. If the frontmost window was a source file (foo.cp), command-tilda would show you the corresponding header file (foo.h), opening it if necessary. Likewise, command-tilda would take you from a header file to the corresponding source file. OK, I know that command-tilda is now used to move from window to window, a newish Mac convention. But why isn't the feature retained with some other way to invoke it? Deselection followed by Command-D then typing the filename is the best replacement I've found. Slow and error prone! Scrolling to the top of a source file, locating the #include statement (which may be a screenful or more down) is likewise slow. The headers menu (near upper left corner) is likewise slow -- some of these menus will list over a hundred files, and even on a cinema display, this is more than two screenfuls -- scrolling these things is an exercise in frustration. I hope that I have just missed the documentation on how to invoke this dearly beloved feature.

The command is still there, but isn't bound to any key combination by default. Select Edit -> Commands and Key Bindings -> Miscellaneous -> Go to header/source file and specify whatever key binding you want.

It would also be nice if control-click on a document would show a list of all files with the same name but different extensions, for easy access... (for instance, foo.cpp, foo.r, foo.pch, etc.) SignatureBen Weiss | Any technology distinguishable from magic President & CTO | is insufficiently advanced. Shell & Slate Software | - Clarke C.

Note that the more stuff you include in your precompiled header, the shorter these lists are. I'm now in the habit of just including all of carbon and most of the standard library in my precompiled header. |
