Selecting Files and Groups
From the Project window, you can select one or more files and groups to open, compile, check syntax, remove from the project, or move to a different group.
Selecting a group includes all of its files, even if those files do not appear to be selected in the Project window.
Expanding Sibling Groups:
Selection by mouse-clicking
To select a single file or group in the Project window, click its name.
To select a consecutive list of files or groups, click the name of the first file or group in the list, then Shift-click the name of the last file or group. The IDE selects all groups and files between the ones that you selected.
Another way to select a consecutive list of items is to drag-select them, in the same way that you select items on the desktop.
To select or de-select any non-consecutive file or group, as shown in Figure 3.12, use one of the following techniques:
Windows, Solaris, and Linux
Ctrl-click the file's name
Mac OS
Command-click the file's name
Non-consecutive File Selection:
Selection by keyboard
To select a file or group by using the keyboard, type the first few characters of the file's or group's name. The IDE selects the file or group whose name most closely matches the characters you typed.
Windows, Solaris, and Linux
If you make a mistake while typing the characters, press Backspace. After the IDE selects the file that you wish to open, press Enter.
Mac OS
If you make a mistake while typing the characters, press Delete. After the IDE selects the file that you wish to open, press Return.
NOTE
You can only use these techniques to select files in currently expanded groups in the Project window. The IDE does not match your keystrokes with the names of files in collapsed groups.
