ECB stands for "Emacs Code Browser". While Emacs already has good editing
|
|
support for many modes, its browsing support is somewhat lacking. That's
|
|
where ECB comes in: it displays a number of informational windows that allow
|
|
for easy source code navigation and overview.
|
|
|
|
The informational windows can contain:
|
|
|
|
* A directory tree,
|
|
* a list of source files in the current directory,
|
|
* a list of functions/classes/methods/... in the current file, (ECB uses
|
|
the Semantic Bovinator, or Imenu, or etags, for getting this list so all
|
|
languages supported by any of these tools are automatically supported by
|
|
ECB too),
|
|
* a history of recently visited files,
|
|
* the Speedbar and
|
|
* output from compilation (the compilation window) and other modes like
|
|
help, grep etc. or whatever a user defines to be displayed in this
|
|
window.
|
|
|
|
As an added bonus, ECB makes sure to keep these informational windows
|
|
visible, even when you use C-x 1 and similar commands.
|
|
|
|
It goes without saying that you can configure the layout, ie. which
|
|
informational windows should be displayed where. ECB comes with a number of
|
|
ready-made window layouts to choose from.
