Opening all regions quickly

[JoshuaColeman]

Hey there,

I read in the useful tips thread about collapsing all regions with the (ctr M O) shortcut, but is there one to open them all?

I am debugging a program for a company, and often times I find that I want to do a text search, and the region's tend to hinder this.

Thanks

I believe Ctrl+M, Ctrl+L will expand all but the auto-generated code region (thankfully) and then collapse the whole class on the second go. All the shortcuts for regions are on the menu under Edit -> Outlining.

Thank you kindly

If you press Ctrl-A that highlights the entire file, then hit <tab> to open all regions (including comment regions).

That's not an official combo I don't think but it certainly does work, and it also forces a reformatting of the code.

[JoshuaColeman]

That actually works perfectly.

This will make things a lot easier.

I just re-read your original post. You may not be aware but in the Find and Replace dialogue there is a checkbox that indicates whether the search should include hidden (collapsed) text.

hrmmm, I cannot find this option.

but I am going to assume you are right.

*Edit*

Nevermind. =)
