XSLT Quick Assist Support
History | Edit

The Quick Assist support helps you to rapidly access search and refactoring actions. If one or more actions are available in the current context, they are accessible via a yellow bulb help () placed at the current line in the stripe on the left side of the editor. Also, you can invoke the quick assist menu by using the Alt + 1 (Meta + Alt + 1 on Mac OS X) keyboard shortcuts.

Two categories of actions are available in the Quick Assist menu:
  • Actions available on a selection made inside an attribute that contains an XPath expression:
    Extract template
    Extracts the selected XSLT instructions sequence into a new template.
    Move to another stylesheet
    Allows you to move one or more XSLT global components (templates, functions, or parameters) to another stylesheet.
    Extract local variable
    Allows you to create a new local variable by extracting the selected XPath expression.
    Extract global variable
    Allows you to create a new global variable by extracting the selected XPath expression.
    Extract template parameter
    Allows you to create a new template parameter by extracting the selected XPath expression.
    Extract global parameter
    Allows you to create a new global parameter by extracting the selected XPath expression.

  • Actions available when the cursor is positioned over the name of a component:
    Rename Component in
    Renames the component and all its dependencies.
    Search Declarations
    Searches the declaration of the component in a predefined scope. It is available only when the context represents a component name reference.
    Search References
    Searches all references of the component in a predefined scope.
    Component Dependencies
    Searches the component dependencies in a predefined scope.
    Change Scope
    Configures the scope that will be used for future search or refactor operations.
    Rename Component
    Allows you to rename the current component in-place.
    Search Occurrences
    Searches all occurrences of the component within the current file.
