The following editing and navigation features work for all types of schema components in the
XML Schema Design mode:
Move/reference components in the diagram using drag-and-drop actions.
Select consecutive components on the diagram (components from the same level) using the
Shift key. You can also make discontinuous selections in the schema diagram using
the Ctrl (Meta on macOS) key. To deselect one
of the components, use Ctrl + Single-Click (Command +
Single-Click on macOS).
Use the arrow keys to navigate the diagram vertically and horizontally.
Use Home/End keys to jump to the first/last component from the same level.
Use Ctrl + Home (Command + Home on
macOS) key combination to go
to the diagram root and Ctrl + End (Command + End on
macOS) 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 jump 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, reference, or move global components, attributes, and identity constraints to
another 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 Go to
Definition action.
You can expand and see the contents of the imports/includes/redefines in the diagram. To
edit components from other schemas, the schema for each component will be opened as a
separate file in Oxygen XML Editor Eclipse plugin.
Tip: If an XML Schema referenced by the
currently open 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.
