  • In any pane or toolbar, use the tab key to move between icons or objects.
  • To move back to the previously viewed topic use the backspace key. To move forward and back use Alt-RightArrow and Alt-LeftArrow respectively.
  • After following a link or a search to find a topic, locate the topic in the table of contents by clicking the Show in Table of Contents icon Show in Table of Contents icon on the topic toolbar (from the keyboard use function key F6 to move between panes, or Ctrl-F6 if using a browser based on Mozilla 1.2 or newer), then on the toolbar use the Tab key to select the icon).
  • To open context-menus use Shift-F10, or the special context-menu key windows context-menu if your keyboard has one.

The window panes

  • The Navigation Pane is on the left. It has tabs for:
    • Contents
    • Search results
  • The Topic Pane is the one you're reading these words in now, and it displays the current help topic. Click on highlighted links to jump straight to other topics (from the keyboard, use the Tab keys to move the focus between links, press Enter to actuate the focussed one). Click in the topic and press Ctrl-F to find words in the page (from the keyboard use function key F6 to move between panes, or Ctrl-F6 if using a browser based on Mozilla 1.2 or newer). From the keyboard use the UpArrow and DownArrow keys to scroll the page.
  • The Toolbar across the top of this Topic Pane provides icons for: Go Back, Go Forward, Show in Table of Contents (useful after a search), and Print (from the keyboard use Alt-LeftArrow, Alt-RightArrow, the icon on the toolbar, and Ctrl-P respectively; use function key F6 to move between panes, or Ctrl-F6 if using a browser based on Mozilla 1.2 or newer, then on the toolbar use the Tab key to select the icon).
  • The Toolbar above the Navigation Pane provides search facilities.

Useful features

  • After using the Search toolbar to find a topic, locate the topic in the table of contents by clicking the Show in Table of Contents icon on the topic toolbar (from the keyboard use function key F6 to move between panes, or Ctrl-F6 if using a browser based on Mozilla 1.2 or newer), then on the toolbar use the Tab key to select the icon).
  • Click in the Topic Pane (from the keyboard use function key F6 to move between panes, or Ctrl-F6 if using a browser based on Mozilla 1.2 or newer) and then press Ctrl-F to Find words in the page.
  • Right-click on an entry in the Table of Contents and select Properties to open a dialog box where you can swipe and copy a URL for the topic that can be used for future reference, for example it can be added to your browser bookmarks list, or copied into an email.

Printing

  • Click on the print icon on the toolbar, or click in the topic and press Ctrl-P (from the keyboard use function key F6 to move between panes, or Ctrl-F6 if using a browser based on Mozilla 1.2 or newer).

Font size

  • Use your browser's own features to control the font size.

Search tips

Use the Search toolbar just above the Navigation pane to find topics in the whole library. Note the following:

  • Use the Advanced Search to restrict the scope of your search within the library.
  • When searching for a number, with some versions of the Eclipse help browser the search will fail unless you enclose the number in double-quotes, for example: "2.0.1".
  • Use * for incomplete words, for example: admin* will find occurrences of administration, administer, and so on.
  • Search for multiple words by separating them with spaces, for example: queue manager will find both topics with the word queue, and topics with the word manager.
  • Search for a phrase by enclosing it in double-quotes, for example: "queue manager" will find only topics with the whole phrase queue manager.
  • The found words will be highlighted when you view the topic.
  • To find words in a displayed topic, click in the topic pane (from the keyboard use function key F6 to move between panes, or Ctrl-F6 if using a browser based on Mozilla 1.2 or newer) and press Ctrl-F.
