button to disable context switch on variable selection
Posted: Fri Nov 30, 2007 3:14 am
When debugging and you click on a variable, the editor context automatically jumps to the variable declaration. I can see that this could be useful at certain times, but I find that I almost always would rather that the editor stayed exactly where it was - ie the current execution point.
This is much more a problem in xslt 2 because the value of nearly every variable is invisible until you click on it and it comes up in the nodes/values set view.
As it happens, this feature is very similar to the "link with editor" button in eclipse's "Package explorer" view (and others I think). This button links enables the package explorer to stay highlighted on the file corresponding to the active editor.
This is the same as the variable context-switching except in reverse.
I think that the variables view should have an identical "link with editor" button so that I can turn this feature on and off as required.
