The ECB-Methods ECB-window contains all parsed and recognized tags of the current source-buffer. It is called “Method-buffer” because ECB is mostly designed for browsing sourcecode files and for programming-languages these tags are often methods (and variables etc.) To simplify explanations we talk in the following only about methods and variables - but in general the method-buffer can contain any kind of tags (e.g. sections and subsections for texinfo buffers).
Per default the content of the methods-ECB-window is automatically synchronized and updated with current point of the current source-buffer in the edit-area (see Synchronization of the ECB-windows). This and other important informations about usage of the powerful Methods-window of ECB can be found in Using and customizing the ECB-Methods window.

IMPORTANT: If you use the POWER-click (i.e. hold down the SHIFT-key
while clicking with the primary mouse button (see Working with the mouse in the ECB-windows)
or RETURN (see Working with the keyboard in the ECB-windows)) on a node in this buffer then
the edit-buffer will be narrowed to the selected tag (see also
option ecb-tag-visit-post-actions
). But this works only for
sources parsed by semantic, not by imenu or etags!

Either use one of the predefined layouts which contain the methods
ECB-window (see Changing and customizing the ECB-layout) (e.g. via C-c . l
c) or create a new ecb-layout via the command
ecb-create-new-layout
and add a buffer of type “methods” into
this new layout (see Interactively creating new layouts).
See Group ecb-methods for a list of all options currently available for customizing this ECB-window to your needs.
