Eclipse and go-to-line
Today, while I was developing as often within the Eclipse IDE, I noted a strange thing at the bootom, in the status bar:The row and column indicator has something strange to me: instead of showing two values (one for the current row and one for the current column), it has three values!
In the previous example, it has
265 : 1 : 6847
.
The meaning is as follows:
- the first number is the row number;
- the second number is the column number;
- the third number is the number of bytes of the file.
Therefore,
265
is the current row, 1
is the current column and 6847
is the number of characters of the file.
I think the information could be displayed a little better, for example making the file size (in characters) less intrusive, since it is not very interesting, at least to me, while developing or writing code.
Go-To-Line
I discovered also another thing: if you click on that portion of the status bar thego-to-line
window pops-up.
