The Tycho index browser is a widget designed for quickly searching
index files. Examples of index files are the "concept index" and
"code index" accessible through the Help menu in most Tycho windows.
Although the index browser is designed to be relatively
familiar to most users, it has some unique features.
Here is a summary of helpful hints:
- Double clicking on an item will select it and open it.
- Tab is used for item completion.
- Repeated Tabs will scroll through matching items.
- Up and down arrows plus the emacs-like equivalent bindings
can be used to navigate through the list of index items (if you
are using name completion, use these to navigate through the list
of possible completions).
- The window can be resized to see more of the items
(use whatever mechanisms your window manager provides).
The index browser is a list browser
specialized for browsing through lists of index entries in Tycho
documentation.
See the list browser documentation.
In general, any file with
the extension ".idx"
will be opened using an index browser.
See Tycho Documentation
for instructions on how to create an index.
