3 Common Features

3.5 The history list

The history list of a tool stores the most recent events which have been carried out in that tool, or the most recent objects which have been browsed in it.

The History > Items submenu provides a list of these events (or objects), allowing you to repeat any of them (or browse them again) by choosing them from the menu. This gives you an easy way of repeating forms in the listener, inspecting objects or browsing classes again, and so on.

The menu lists the last ten unique items to have entered the history list of the tool. Because each entry is unique, some items may have occurred more than ten events ago.

In the editor, the History> Items submenu lists the buffers currently open.
