The Tools
menu gives access to additional tools. Some items are
currently disabled, meaning that these are planned tools not yet available.
The list of active items includes:
See Bookmarks.
Open a tree view of function callers and callees. See also Call Graph.
See The Clipboard View.
See Coverage Report.
Open the Entity View in the bottom area See The Entity View.
Open a file system explorer on the left area. See The File View.
See File Switches.
Open a view of the current source editor. See The Outline View.

Open a shell console at the bottom area of GPS. Note that this not an OS
shell console, but a GPS shell console, where you can type GPS specific
commands such as help
.
Open a python console to access the python interpreter. See The Shell and Python Windows.
Open an OS (Windows or Unix) console, using the environment variables
SHELL
and COMSPEC
to determine which shell to use.
See The Shell and Python Windows.
On Unix, this terminal behaves a lot like a standard Unix terminal. In particular, you need to make sure that your shell will output all the information. In some cases, the configuration of your shell (.bashrc if you are running bash for instance) will deactivate the echo of what you type to the terminal. Since GPS is not outputing anything on its own, just showing what the shell is outputing, you need to somehow ensure that your shell always echos what you type. This is done by running the command
stty echo
in such cases. In general, this can be safely done in your .bashrc
Open the console containing auxiliary builds output. For now, only cross-reference automated generation output is redirected to this console. See Working with two compilers.
See Code Coverage.
See Metrics.
See The Plug-ins Editor.
Interrupt the last task launched (e.g. compilation, vcs query, …).
