In order for a double-click in the ABAP Editor to have the desired effect, you must place the cursor either directly to the left of or within the required string.
Double-clicking can trigger the following navigation steps:
Double-click |
To |
A development object |
Navigate to the object definition. If the object has not yet been defined, the system asks whether you want to create it. If you select an object that is defined using another tool, the system closes the ABAP Editor and starts the corresponding tool. |
The definition of an object |
Display a where-used list for the object. A dialog box may appear first, allowing you to specify extra search options for the where-used list. |
An ABAP keyword |
Trigger an error message. Double-clicking on an ABAP keyword is not generally supported by the navigation. |
A compound ABAP structure (IF ... ENDIF...) |
Navigate to the "other half" of the structure (for example, from METHOD to ENDMETHOD, or from ENDIF to IF). |
A WHEN statement |
Navigate to the next WHEN statement (or ENDCASE if you double-click the last WHEN). |
An ELSEIF statement |
Navigate to the next ELSEIF, ELSO, or ENDIF statement. |
An include name |
Jump to the definition of the include. |
A space in the line |
Make the line the top line displayed on the screen |
A line number |
Make the line the top line displayed on the screen (only works in table control mode with line numbering). |
