Automatically expand all in Eclipse Search results

问题

I usually want to have all the search results (from ctrl-H) fully expanded, but only the first leaf node is expanded by default.

What I end up doing is clicking the "Expand All" button in the Search view but this is tedious.

Is there a way to automatically have results fully expanded?

回答1:

No but you can use the keyboard shortcuts of your OS. On Linux, use Nk* (* on the numpad) to expand the current node and all children.

Windows user can use Shift+Nk*

On the Mac, select all nodes with Command+A and then expand them with Command+Right Arrow

On a Mac without the numpad, to avoid moving the mouse:

• do the search

• the focus moves in the search view

  (make sure to close the Find/Replace dialog before searching, otherwise it would take the focus)

• do this sequence quickly:

  • Alt ⎇ + ▲ Up Arrow (select the root node)
  • Alt ⎇ + ◀ Left Arrow (collapse the root node)

  • Alt ⎇ + ► Right Arrow (expand the root node)

    (For some reason ⎇ + ► doesn't expand all of the root children, first you have to collapse it.)

This is faster than clicking on the small + icon.

On a Windows without a numpad, the following can help to expand the search result fast without click the mouse.

This method does not expand result instantly, but i found it to be more convenient and faster than using mouse to click the + button on Eclipse.

1. After search, hold onto ► Right Arrow to expand one search result to its end root

2. Once reached the end root, press ▼ Down Arrow to move on to the next search result, hold onto ► Right Arrow to expand one search result to its end root

3. Repeat step 1 and step 2 until all results are expanded.
