2. Overview

ECB is a global minor-mode which offers a few ECB-windows for browsing your sources comfortable with the mouse and the keyboard. These "special" windows are also called tree-buffer in this manual. Every item in such a tree-buffer, i.e. every line, is also called a node of this tree-buffer. There are currently three different types of ECB-windows/tree-buffers:

In addition to these "special" ECB-windows you have always one or two edit-windows (see section 4.3 Working with the edit-window) in the ECB-frame and at the bottom a compilation-window (optional), where all the output of Emacs-compilation (compile, grep etc.) is shown (see section 4.4 Temp- and compile-buffers display in ECB).

The following "ascii-screenshot" illustrates the typical layout of the ECB-frame(2):
