This command toggles the visibility of the JSON manager. The JSON manager displays a tree view of the nodes in the active JSON document. Double-clicking on a node will position the caret to the related node in the active document. Pressing SHIFT+Double Click with the cursor on a node will cause the text associated with that node in the active document to be selected. Expanding a node in the JSON manager will also cause the relevant source code to be expanded in the editor if folded.
If a node (element/attribute) is selected, after a momentary delay the user may click it again and it will be activated for editing. If an element is edited, pressing RETURN will save the change. Attributes may be edited from the document tree in a similar manner.
The combobox at the top of the JSON manager may be used to navigate quickly within the document tree of the active JSON document. Typing an element or attribute name and then pressing RETURN will position the document tree accordingly and select the first matching node.
