2.8 Browse Tracker

Browse Tracker is a plug-in that helps navigating between recently opened files in CodeBlocks. The list of recent files is saved in a history. With the menu ’View’ /’Browse Tracker’ /’Clear All’ the history is cleared.

With the window ’Browsed Tabs’ you can navigate between the items of the recently opened files using the menu entry ’View’ /’Browse Tracker’ /’Backward Ed/Forward Ed’ or the shortcut Alt-Left/Alt-Right. The Browse Tracker menu is also accessible as context menu. The markers are saved in the layout file <projectName>.bmarks

A common procedure when developing software is to struggle with a set of functions which are implemented in different files. The BrowseTracks plug-in will help you solve this problem by showing you the order in which the files were selected. You can then comfortably navigate the function calls.

The plug-in allows even browse markers within each file in the CodeBlocks editor. The cursor position is memorized for every file. You can set this markers using the menu item ’View’ /’ Browse Tracker’ /’ Set BrowseMarks’ or with selecting a line with the left mouse button. A marker with † is shown in the left margin. With the menu ’View’ /’Browse Tracker’ /’Prev Mark/Next Mark’ or the shortcut Alt-up/Alt-down you can navigate through the markers within a file. If you want to navigate in a file between markers sorted by line numbers then just select the menu ’View’ /’Browse Tracker’ /’Sort BrowseMark’ .

With the ’Clear BrowseMark’ the marker in a selected line is removed. If a marker is set for a line, holding left-mouse button down for 1/4 second while pressing the Ctrl key will delete the marker for this line. Via the menu ’Clear All BrowseMarks’ or with a Ctrl-left click on any unmarked line will reset the markers within a file.

The settings of the plug-in can be configure via the menu ’Settings’ /’Editor’ /’Browse Tracker’ .

Mark Style

Browse Marks are displayed per default as † within the margin. With the setting ’Book_Marks’ they will be displayed like Bookmarks as blue arrow in the margin. With hide the display of Browse Marks is suppressed.

Markers can be set or removed either by a click with the left mouse button or with a click while holding the crtl key.
