A window can be moved and sized using the mouse and the keyboard: To move a window:
- using the mouse, click on the title bar and drag the window with the mouse.
- using the keyboard, go into the size/move mode by pressing Ctrl-F5 or selecting
the menu item "Window|Size/Move". . Using the cursor keys the window can be
moved. The size/move mode can be left by pressing Enter. In this case, the window
will keep its size and position. Alternatively, pressing Esc will restore the old position.
To resize a window:
- using the mouse, click on the lower right corner of the window and drag it.
- using the keyboard, go into the size/move mode by pressing Ctrl-F5 or selecting the
menu item "Window|Size/Move". The window frame will be green to indicate that
the IDE is in size/move mode. By pressing shift and the cursor keys simultaneously,
the window can be resized. The size/move mode can be left by pressing Enter. In this

A window can also be hidden. To hide a window, the Ctrl-F6 key combination can be used, or
the "Window|Hide" menu may be selected. To restore a Hidden window, it is necessary to
select it from the window list. More information about the window list can be found in the next
