View Modes, Bookmarks and Line Numbers
While developing objects, or conversing about them with other users, it may sometimes be
difficult to quickly navigate to certain regions of code simply because of the size of the file
itself or because large sections of code and comments obscure the desired section. There are
a number of features built into the Propeller Tool to assist with this problem, including
different View Modes, Bookmarks and Line Numbers.
View Modes
Each edit tab can display an object’s source in one of four view modes: 1) Full Source, 2)
Condensed, 3) Summary, and 4) Documentation.
By briefly switching to another view you may be able to locate the routine or region of code
desired. For example, Figure 2-16a shows the Graphics object open in an edit page. If you
were having trouble finding the “plot” routine within the source code, you could switch to the
Summary view (Figure 2-16b) locate the “plot” routine’s header line and click the mouse on
that line to place the cursor there, then switch back to Full Source view (Figure 2-16c). Keep
your eye on the line with the cursor because the code will expand to full view above and
below the line where the cursor is.
The view mode can be changed a number of ways; see the Shortcut Keys listing beginning on
page 75. For example, while in any view mode other than Full Source, pressing the Escape
key will take you back to Full Source view. While in Condensed or Summary view modes,
double-clicking on a line will switch back to Full Source view; expanding above and below
that line. Also, the view mode bar items act like a toggle so that clicking on the Summary
item switches back and forth between Summary view and the previous view mode.

Full Source view displays every line of source code within the object and is the only
view that supports editing.
Condensed view hides every line that contains only a code comment as well as
contiguous lines that are blank, showing only compilable lines of code.
Summary view displays only the block heading lines (

Documentation view displays the object’s documentation generated by the compiler
from the source code’s doc comments (see Exercise 3: Output.spin - Comments on
page 100 for more information).
