The release of JEB 2.1.2 is being\u00a0distributed to our customers today and tomorrow. We thought it would be a good time to present\/recap some of the UI changes that were introduced since version 2.1.<\/p>\n

Layouts<\/h4>\n

The RCP client comes with a default layout that has the Project view on the left-hand side, the Logger and Console at the bottom, and a large empty workspace area in the center.\u00a0The layout can (and should!) be customized to fit your analysis needs.<\/p>\n

Drag views around by their title areas. Expand a view to full-screen by double clicking on its title area. Minimize or maximize view groups using the icons located in the view trimbar. (Circled in red in the picture below.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Customized layout with a code hierarchy on the lower-left corner.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Since you may want to have different layouts for different use cases, layouts can be duplicated and customized. You can achieve this via the Window\/New Layout… menu option.<\/p>\n

Auto-sync the Project tree selection<\/h4>\n

Enable this feature via the double-arrow icon located in the Project Explorer view. (As seen on the picture below.) When enabled, the simple selection of a unit element in the tree will automatically bring up the associated unit view. No need for Enter, no need for double-click: a simple selection is enough.<\/p>\n

This option is especially useful when navigating large swarm of resource files, eg pictures.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Open same-type unit in same views<\/h4>\n

When enabled, a unit of view X will be opened in an already existing view representing another unit of the same type (X).<\/p>\n

This option is extremely useful when opening many views of the same type, but only the last one is important: example, when decompiling and navigating code.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Navigating a text view with a non-sticky caret<\/h4>\n

By default, the navigation of a text view in JEB2 may be a bit confusing: due to the way very large buffers are handled by these views, it is often more resource-efficient to keep the caret\u00a0on its viewport<\/em> location. That means that, upon scrolling up or down, the caret will visually<\/strong> remain where it is.<\/p>\n

When highlighting interactive items, and wanting to keep track of other related items across the buffer, that default behavior is not ideal: it is better to maintain the caret position within the buffer<\/strong>, as opposed to within the viewport.<\/p>\n

Use Control (Control on Mac) +Shift + \u00a0Up|Down<\/strong> to keep the caret where it is when scrolling up\/down.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

More to come<\/h4>\n
