Display Model Attributes

What's the quickest way to display model attributes?

As it stands now, I have to switch to pane one, find the model in the tree, and then expand the node. I could also look at the model dependency diagram as well but that seems like overkill.

I simply want a quick list of all attribtues of the model I am currently working on within the editor.

Hello Jim,

dependency diagram as well but that seems like overkill.

RubyMine doesn't have a dedicated window for displaying model attributes.
You can quickly select a model in the Project view using the "Select In"
feature (Alt-F1).

I agree it's overkill for such an important info. Most of the time, I end up check the DB fields instead.

It would be nice to have it in the Structure (7) tab, available as an option.
It could also be a popup (like file structure) that shows all the attributes with their types.
