| ECB stands for "Emacs Code Browser". While Emacs already has good editing |
| support for many modes, its browsing support is somewhat lacking. That's |
| where ECB comes in: it displays a number of informational windows that allow |
| for easy source code navigation and overview. |
| |
| The informational windows can contain: |
| |
| * A directory tree, |
| * a list of source files in the current directory, |
| * a list of functions/classes/methods/... in the current file, (ECB uses |
| the Semantic Bovinator, or Imenu, or etags, for getting this list so all |
| languages supported by any of these tools are automatically supported by |
| ECB too), |
| * a history of recently visited files, |
| * the Speedbar and |
| * output from compilation (the compilation window) and other modes like |
| help, grep etc. or whatever a user defines to be displayed in this |
| window. |
| |
| As an added bonus, ECB makes sure to keep these informational windows |
| visible, even when you use C-x 1 and similar commands. |
| |
| It goes without saying that you can configure the layout, ie. which |
| informational windows should be displayed where. ECB comes with a number of |
| ready-made window layouts to choose from. |
