<h4>ECB Sources- and history-interactor</h4>
<p>ECB offers two interactors for displaying source-file-names: The
sources- and the history-interactor. The former one displays all
source-file names of the currently selected directory of the
directories-interactor (see <a href="ECB-Directories-buffer.html#ECB%20Directories-buffer">ECB Directories-buffer</a>) whereas the
latter one displays the names of all currently loaded source-files
regardless in which directory they reside so it works as a "history"
of source-files.
<p>Both the sources- and the history-tree-buffer are "flat"
tree-buffers means all nodes are direct children of the invisible
root-node and can not be expanded.
<h5>Usage of the sources/history interactor</h5>
<ul>
<li>Source files can be selected by clicking with the primary mouse button
(see <a href="Using-the-mouse.html#Using%20the%20mouse">Using the mouse</a>) or hitting RETURN (see <a href="Using-the-keyboard.html#Using%20the%20keyboard">Using the keyboard</a>) on the source row in the <dfn>ECB-Sources</dfn> or
<dfn>ECB-History</dfn> windows. The buffer of the selected source-file will
be displayed in an edit-window - which one depends on the setting in
<code>ecb-mouse-click-destination</code>.
<p>IMPORTANT: If you use the POWER-click (i.e. hold down the SHIFT-key
while clicking with the primary mouse button (see <a href="Using-the-mouse.html#Using%20the%20mouse">Using the mouse</a>)
or RETURN (see <a href="Using-the-keyboard.html#Using%20the%20keyboard">Using the keyboard</a>)) on a source row in the
ECB-Sources or ECB-History windows then the source will not be
displayed in an edit-window but it will be scanned in the background
and all its contents (e.g. methods and variables) are listed in the
<dfn>ECB Methods</dfn> window (see <a href="ECB-Methods-buffer.html#ECB%20Methods-buffer">ECB Methods-buffer</a>. So you can get an
overlook over the source without changing the buffer in the
edit-window.
</p><li>Clicking on the source file with the secondary mouse button or
C-RETURN (see <a href="Usage-of-ECB.html#Usage%20of%20ECB">Usage of ECB</a>) will open the source file in
another edit window - which one depends on the setting in
<code>ecb-mouse-click-destination</code>.
<li>Right clicking on a source file (mouse-button 3) will open a popup
menu where different operation on the item under the mouse cursor can
be performed. This popup-menu offers operations for version-control,
dired, grep, filtering the file-names and some file-operations like
deleting the related file from disk.
</ul>
<h5>Activating/Displaying the sources/history interactor</h5>
<p>Either use one of the predefined layouts which contain the sources
(rsp. history) interactor (see <a href="Changing-the-ECB-layout.html#Changing%20the%20ECB-layout">Changing the ECB-layout</a>) (e.g. via
<kbd>C-c . l c</kbd>) or create a new ecb-layout via the command
<code>ecb-create-new-layout</code> and add a buffer of type "sources"
(rsp. "history") into this new layout (see <a href="Creating-a-new-ECB-layout.html#Creating%20a%20new%20ECB-layout">Creating a new ECB-layout</a>).
<h5>Customizing the sources/history interactor</h5>
<p>See <a href="ecb-sources.html#ecb-sources">ecb-sources</a> and <a href="ecb-history.html#ecb-history">ecb-history</a> for a list of all options
currently available for customizing these interactors to your needs.
