There are three kind of tools directly available in a default development tool : [[Browsing tools|browsing tools]] on the left, the [[EiffelStudio Editor Introduction|editor]] on the upper right and context tools on the lower right. No browsing tool, except the feature tool, displays information about a particular component. On the contrary, the editor and context tools display information about a given cluster, class or feature : they are centered on this component. There are several ways to center the editor on an element:

No browsing tool, except the feature tool, displays information about a particular component. On the contrary, the editor and context tools display information about a given cluster, class or feature : they are centered on this component. There are several ways to center the editor on an element:
|
||||
* use the [[Main address bar|address bar]] on the top of the editor. It allows you to set which class (and even which feature in the class) you want the editor to display. You may use wildcards ("?" or "*") as you type the names of these components.
|
||||
* use [[Pick-and-drop mechanism|pick and drop]]. Pick a cluster, class or feature stone anywhere in EiffelStudio and drop it in the editor. It will center it on the component automatically.
|
||||
* find it in the [[Cluster tool|cluster]], [[Feature tool|feature]], or [[Favorites tool|favorites]] tool and click it.

[[Property:title|Making the context tool independent from the editor]]

By default, [[EiffelStudio Editor Introduction|the editor]] and the [[EiffelStudio window overview|context tool]] are [[Centering tools on a component|centered]] on the same cluster, class or feature. It is possible to make the context tool independent from the editor. It has then its own address bar and can display information on a totally different component than the one on which the editor is centered.

To do so, click on or select '''Isolate context tool''' in the '''View''' menu. To go back to the previous configuration, click on the same icon again or select '''Merge context tool''' in the '''View''' menu.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also modify the [[EiffelStudio preferences]] so that next time a window is opened, its context tool will be automatically independent: open the [[Preference window overview|preferences window]] by choosing '''Preferences...''' in the '''Tools''' menu. Select then the "context tool" sub-category in the "Tools" of the preferences tree. Lastly click on "Share addresses between the editor and the context tool" and set it to '''False'''. <br/>
