Working with the keyboard in the ECB-windows

ECB offers the ecb-mode-map which binds the most important functions of ECB to keys so you can easily use ECB in every window¹ without a mouse.

IMPORTANT: Do not modify ecb-mode-map directly! The option ecb-key-map defines all ECB keybindings, including a common prefix-key (This is by default C-c .). If there are conflicts with other minor-modes or packages you can define very easy another prefix. Please read carefully the description of ecb-key-map (see ecb-general).!

The following sections describe special topics about using the keyboard in the ECB-tree-buffers:

• Navigation/Selection: Keyboard navigation/selection in a tree-buffer
• Incremental search: Find nodes as fast as possible
• Personal keybindings: Adding personal keybindings to a tree-buffer
