Title: [SOLVED] shortcut to cycle through project files
Post by: heinzelotto on January 12, 2009, 09:08:42 pm

Hi everyone,

yesterday i was browsing the forums and in some thread i saw a very useful keyboard shortcut that works a bit like ctrl+tab. Instead of cycling through open tabs though, it opens a menu (which looks just like the window ctrl+tab opens) in which all project files are listed. You can then choose a file and press enter to open it in the editor.
I found this shortcut really useful, but unfortunately i forgot the key combination and cannot find it anymore :(

I hope you could help me out,
thanks in advance,
Heinzelotto

Try "Alt+Left (arrow)" and "Alt+Right (arrow)" .

Thank you, but thats not quite what i meant, this shortcut cycles through the tabs i browsed recently. The shortcut i mean shows a list of all the files that are associated with my project, even if they are not opened in an editor-tab.

EDIT: ah well, it seems i didn't read about the shortcut in the forums, but rather in the Code::Blocks-Tips: "You can easily find/open files as you type in the project tree by pressing ALT-G. (similar to desktop-search)"

Thats the shortcut i meant :)

Thank you!
