Re: AW: Link editor window with source tree

Hello Holger,

   if you prefer buttons, why don't you add that particular action into the toolbar ? Here is how to achieve that:

1. Invoke "Tools | Options" from main menu.
2. Select "IDE Configuration | Look and Feel | Actions | Window | Select Document in | Select Node in Project" action node.
3. Press CTRL+C to copy that action.
4. Select "IDE Configuration | Look and Feel | Toolbars | Memory" node.
5. Press CTRL+V to paste the action into Memory toolbar.
6. Check "Visible" property in the right property sheet and close the Options window.
7. Optionally drag and drop the Memory toolbar to right.

   Whenever you have editor focused and click the newly created toolbar button it will get you to the filenode in Projects view.

Enjoy ! :-)
