4.1.5 The ECB Methods-window

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.
