[ECB-list] running ecb in a terminal

[Erik O. <er...@pl...>]

Hello,

I have recently started trying to use ECB: it seems really powerful
and useful. I have been reading over the documentation and playing
around with the various ecb-* functions that are defined.

I am not an emacs-guru (as compared to most ECB users probably) so I
may be missing something, but I can't find a way to easily navigate
around ECB only using the keyboard (i.e. with no mouse). I usually run
emacs over SSH sessions without X-forwarding, so I generally do a lot
of C_x b, C_x o, etc. in order to switch buffers, move around split
screens, etc.

I found the ecb-goto-window-* methods, which work OK, and then I can
use C_x o to move around them. My questions are:

1. Is there a better way to navigate ECB using *only* the keyboard
than this (binding the ecb-goto methods to shorter key sequences and
moving between then with C_x o also)?

2. Is there a way to toggle myself back into whatever ECB window I
just left? Often in the method browser I hit return on a method to see
the relevant code in the edit window, but I would like to continue
browsing methods.

3. Besides using the preference relating to cvsignore (and creating
.cvsignore files), is there a way to filter out certain paths in the
file browser? For instance, say I only want to view C source files,
I'd like to be able to specify ^.*\.c$ and see only those files (or I
'd like to filter files matching a regexp... either would be fine).

I read the FAQ on the ECB site as well as the documentation. While it
is quite possible I missed things in there (and certain that I didn't
follow it all) I didn't see anything that obviously answered these
questions.

Thanks,

-- Erik
