| 1 | +## The CodeBrowser makes browsing through projects with multiple files and lots of functions easy, convenient and pleasant. |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +#### Requirements |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +- Igor Pro version 6.3.0 or later |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +#### Installation |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +1. Install Igor. |
| 10 | +2. Start Igor. This creates a folder called WaveMetrics in Documents. Close Igor. |
| 11 | +3. Extract the zip file into a folder somewhere on your disc. |
| 12 | +4. Create a link from `CodeBrowser-v*/procedures` to |
| 13 | + `Documents\WaveMetrics\Igor Pro [6-8] User Files\Igor Procedures`. |
| 14 | +5. Start Igor. You can now find `CodeBrowser/Open` in the main menu. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +#### Features |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +- Shows all functions/macros from a procedure file including parameter |
| 19 | + types, return types and special properties like static and |
| 20 | + threadsafe. |
| 21 | +- Shows Menu/Constant/StrConstant/Structure entries. |
| 22 | +- Shows the structure name for window hook and background tasks for |
| 23 | + easier searching. |
| 24 | +- Allows jumping to the definition of these elements within the code by |
| 25 | + mouse and keyboard. |
| 26 | +- Optionally alphabetically sorted lists. |
| 27 | +- Shows function comments as tooltips (IP8 only). |
| 28 | +- Works with Independent Modules. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +For reasons of ease-of-use the function declarations are displayed as |
| 31 | +`myFunction(var, str) -> var` for a function taking a variable and |
| 32 | +string parameter and returning a variable. Programmers might recognize |
| 33 | +this as being inspired by the trailing return types from C++11. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +#### Navigation by keyboard |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +- <kbd>CTRL</kbd>+<kbd>0</kbd>: Open the panel. |
| 38 | +- Jump to the definition of the listbox selection with <kbd>.<kbd> |
| 39 | +- Pressing any character while the ListBox has the focus activates the |
| 40 | + first listbox entry which starts with that character. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +#### Limitations |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +- No parameter types are shown for macros |
