The Quickview Pane

The Quickview pane is for handy editing and viewing of data under the cursor. It also provides some general information about the document.

The Quickview docking window contains three tabbed views:

Quick Editor (Quick)

This view shows the data under the cursor, interpreted as a variety of data types. You can change the document by entering a new value in the Quick Editor (except for text types), so this is a convenient way to enter integer or float values rather than just bytes into the document. The headings can be expanded or collapsed like items in a tree view to save space.

Quick Structure Viewer (Struct)

Like the Quick Editor, this view displays the data under the cursor and lets you edit it. The current structure is used; if there is no current structure the view is blank. You can use this pane to conveniently see and edit data via a structure without having to go into the Structure View.

Document Summary Info (Summary)

This view shows various useful facts about the current document, including what type of document it is. Items under the 'Underlying Object' heading refer to the actual object being edited; items under the 'AXE Document' heading refer to the AXE document itself.

You can show/hide the quickview pane from the Window menu. You can use the keyboard shortcuts Alt-7, Alt-8, and Alt-9 to jump to any of the three views.
