If your screen is very small so you need every square-centimeter for displaying the buffer which you want to edit, ECB offers you a special layouts, where only the ECB-methods buffer is displayed on top or on left-side. Here comes what you should/can do to work best with ECB in such a situation:
ecb-layout-name
to layout-name “top2” (on top) or
“left9” (on left-side)
ecb-compile-window-height
is nil.
ecb-windows-height
rsp. ecb-windows-width
.
ecb-toggle-ecb-windows
(also available via the menu “ECB” and
by C-c . lw) or ecb-hide-ecb-windows
to hide the ECB-method buffer
so you get all the place of your screen for editing.
ecb-toggle-ecb-windows
or ecb-show-ecb-windows
to
make the ECB-method buffer visible if not already. If you want select
a method/variable with the keyboard instead with the mouse you should
read the section Working with the keyboard in the ECB-windows in this online help!
The possibility of hiding temporally the ECB windows like described above is also useful for all the other layouts.
