The following editing and navigation features work for all types of schema components:
Move/refer components in the diagram using drag-and-drop actions.
Select consecutive components on the diagram (components from the same level) using the
Shift key to . You can also make discontinuous selections in the schema diagram
using the Ctrl key.
Use the arrow keys to navigate the diagram vertically and horizontally.
Use Home/End keys to navigate to the first/last component from the same
level. Use (Ctrl - Home) key combination to go to the diagram root
and (Ctrl - End) to go to the last child of the selected
component.
You can easily go back to a previously visited component while moving from left to right.
The path will be preserved only if you use the left arrow key or right arrow key. For
example, if the current selection is on the second attribute from an attribute group and you
press the left arrow key to navigate to the attribute group, when you press the right arrow
key, then the selection will be moved to the second attribute.
Go back and forward between components viewed or edited in the diagram by selecting them
in the Outline view:
Back (go to previous
schema component)
Forward (go to next
schema component)
Go to Last
Modification (go to last modified schema component)
Copy, refer or move global components, attributes, and identity constraints to a different
position and from one schema to another using the Cut/Copy and
Paste/Paste as Reference actions.
Go to the definition of an element or attribute with the Show
Definition action.
You can expand and see the contents of the imports/includes/redefines in the diagram. In
order to edit components from other schemas the schema for each component will be opened as
a separate file in Oxygen.
Tip: If an XML Schema referenced by the current opened schema was modified on disk,
the change will be detected and you will be asked to refresh the current schema
contents.
Recursive references are marked with a recurse symbol: . Click this symbol to navigate between the
element declaration and its reference.
