<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>ECB is a global minor-mode which offers a couple of <dfn>ECB-windows</dfn>
for browsing your sources comfortable with the mouse and the keyboard.
These "special" windows are also called <dfn>interactors</dfn> in this
manual.
<p>ECB offers some basic interactors to browse your sources:
<ul>
<li>ECB-Directories for browsing directories
<li>ECB-Sources for browsing source-files and a file-history
<li>ECB-Methods for browsing the contents of a source
</ul>
<p>See <a href="Basic-interactors.html#Basic%20interactors">Basic interactors</a> for a detailled description what these
basic interactors offer. See <a href="ECB-interactors.html#ECB-interactors">ECB-interactors</a> for a general
introduction in the interactor-concept of ECB.
<p>In addition to these "special" ECB-windows you have always an
<dfn>edit-area</dfn> where you can edit your source-files. The edit-area
can be divided into several <dfn>edit-windows</dfn> - as many as you need
(see <a href="The-edit-area.html#The%20edit-area">The edit-area</a>). And at the bottom of the ECB-frame a persistent
<dfn>compilation-window</dfn> (also called <dfn>compile-window</dfn>) can be
displayed (optional), where all the output of Emacs-compilation
(compile, grep etc.) is shown (see <a href="Temp--and-compile-buffers.html#Temp-%20and%20compile-buffers">Temp- and compile-buffers</a>).
<p>The following "screenshot" illustrates the typical layout of the
ECB-frame<a rel=footnote href="#fn-1"><sup>1</sup></a>:
