BeIDE Drag and Drop
This section lists all the places in the BeIDE
that support drag and drop:
- Drop text clippings into text windows.
- Drop folders/files into the Project Window; a new group is created
(if possible).
- Drop a file onto a text window opens the file
in a new window.
- Drop files or folders into the Find Window's Multi-File Search: box.
Folders are recursively searched.
- Drop folders into the
Project/Access Paths panel in the Settings Window.
- Drag folders from the Project/Access Paths panel
and drop them
anywhere that accepts files (such as the Find Window).
- Drag files (or groups) from the Project Window to anywhere that
accepts files. Dragging a group drags all the files in the group.
- Drop colors and fonts into the Editor/Syntax Styling panel
in the Settings Window—and drag them out as well.
The ability to drag files out of the Project window is especially powerful.
For example:
- Drag files (or groups) to a Tracker folder and the files are copied.
- Drag files to a Terminal window and the names of all the files
are listed on the command line.
- Drag files to the Find Window to create a set of files to
search in.
