• If you put your text cursor on a function name, variable name, preprocessor macro, or include directive, then

you can quickly jump to the place where that item is defined by pressing F3 or by right-clicking and selecting

Open Declaration.

• Pressing Ctrl+Tab inside a source (.c) file opens up the corresponding header (.h) file, and vice-versa. This

is especially useful if you are writing a Wixel library.

• The Outline view shows all the variables and functions defined in the current file. You can click on one of

them to quickly jump to its definition. You can even drag them within the Outline view to change their order in

your file.

• If you put your cursor on a function name, you can see all the places where that function is called by typing

Ctrl+Alt+H or right-clicking and selecting Open Call Heirarchy.

• Eclipse makes it easy to rename selected objects (variables, methods/functions, etc.) by automatically

propagating the changes to other files in the project. You can access this feature by putting your cursor on a name

and then right-clicking and selecting Refactor > Rename…

• Eclipse scans your files for comments containing “TODO”. These comments are aggregated in the Tasks

view, and you can also easily find them in your current file by clicking on the little blue rectangles to the right of

the vertical scroll bar. Each blue rectangle represents the location of a TODO item in your file.

If there is an error during compilation in Eclipse, you can double-click on the error message to

jump to the source of the error.
