== Task List Tips ==
 
  
* If you wish to discard outgoing changes on a task (ie. in case of mid-air collisions), use the synchronize (F5) option in the tasklist popup menu. This will retrieve the latest data from the repository and will present a dialog indicating that your local changes will be overwritten (you may opt to keep your new comment if desired).
 
* The Task List can be restored from history via it's view menu -> ''Restore Tasks from History...''
 
 
== Source Repositories ==
 
 
* When checking out a new project, deactivate the active task.  Otherwise all newly created files will become interesting.
 
 
== View Shortcuts ==
 
 
* <code>Alt+click</code> or <code>Alt+RightArrow</code>: show all children of an element in a focused view, then click to select.  Hold down alt to keep drilling in, click on whitespace in view to show all root elements.  Also see [http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylar_User_Guide#Keyboard_and_Alt.2BClick_mappings_on_Linux configuration on Linux].
