Introduction

As was described in Getting Started, the Red Hat Embedded DevKit^TM is made up of several components: Source-Navigator^TM, Insight^TM, and development tools such as gcc and gdb.

If you are familiar with the basics of Source-Navigator and you are looking for more details on using it to develop and manage your source code, see Using the Project Editor. If you are looking for details on using Source-Navigator to develop your embedded projects, see Using the Red Hat EDK. If you want to do your development work from a command line, see Command Line Options.

About the User's Guide

This document serves as a reference to Source-Navigator menus, tools, and functionality. It provides more detailed information than was included in Getting Started, and discusses why you might choose one option over another when a choice is available to you.

Ctrl+click	Depress and hold the Ctrl key, simultaneously clicking with the left mouse button.
Shift+click	Depress and hold the Shift key, simultaneously clicking with the left mouse button.
Right+click	Place the cursor on a specific object and click the right mouse button.
Select Text	Click and drag cursor through text (or code) to be selected. Selected text is highlighted.
Select Entries	Clicking a line selects it. To indicate the end of the selection, hold down the Shift key and click the desired line.

Keyboard Conventions

You can use the keyboard to activate many of the functions displayed on the toolbar and in the menus.

Holding down the Alt key while pressing S is represented as Alt+S.
To open a command in the menu bar, press the Alt key plus the first letter of the menu. If a letter in the menu item is underlined, press the underlined letter to open the submenu.
