Find jump target editor

If you have more than one editor for a file open and you want to jump to a new location in the file, then there are several possibilities how to choose which editor to use.

  • This does not affect normal editor navigation, such as page up/down, simple find/replace, next occurrence of word, ...
  • It does affect how:
    • clicking on a find-in-files result
    • clicking a compiler message
    • jumping to a bookmark or history point works.
    • jumping to a declaration (in another file, if the other file has more than one editor)
    • ...
  • In some cases it can also affect codetool jumps (jumps to declaration or between interface and implementation) within the same file.
(e.g. if you jump to the declaration in the interface, and the declaration is already shown in another editor with the same file, you may want to switch to the other editor)


By default Lazarus will use the current editor. Or if you jump to a different file, it will use the most recent used editor for that file.
