GPS provides an Entity View
which allows you to browse and quickly find
all Ada entities referenced in the currently loaded project hierarchy. This
view can be accessed through the Tools->Views->Entities
menu.
This view is divided in three parts: a Pattern
entry, a tree view, and
a documentation view.
To query an entity, enter a search pattern in the Pattern
entry. The
tree view then shows a list of all known entities which start with this
pattern. When an entry is selected in the tree, the documentation view displays
the documentation corresponding to the selected entity.
When the File View
has the focus, using the up/down arrow keys changes
the selection in the tree, and pressing the Enter key opens an editor to the
declaration of the selected entity. It is also possible to jump to this
location by double-clicking on the line in the tree, or by clicking on the
hyperlink in the documentation view.
Note that the view shows the entities that are currently loaded in memory, see Support for Cross-References.
