How to: Navigate and Search in Visual J#

There are various ways to move through text or code in the Code Editor using the mouse and navigation keys:

* Use the arrow keys to move one character at a time, or the arrow keys in combination with the CTRL key to move one word at a time. Arrow keys move one line at a time also.

* Click a location with the mouse.

* Use the scroll bars or scroll wheel on the mouse to move through the text.

* Use the HOME, END, PAGEUP, and PAGEDOWN keys.

* Use CTRL+PAGE UP and CTRL+PAGE DOWN to move the insertion point to the top or bottom of the window, respectively.

* Use CTRL+UP ARROW and CTRL+DOWN ARROW to scroll the view without moving the insertion point.

* Use the Navigate Backward button to move the insertion point to previous locations in the active document, and the Navigate Forward button to return to more recent locations.

Operations such as Incremental Search, Goto Line, Goto Definition, Beginning of Document, End of Document, Paste, and Insert File can move the insertion point a significant distance within the active document. The Navigate Backward and Navigate Forward buttons retain the last 20 locations of the insertion point.

The following sections describe other ways to move to specific sections and lines of code:

* Navigation bar

* Bookmarks in the Bookmarks Window

* Comment tasks in the Task List

* Incremental searches

* Go to Line command

* Go to Definition command
