36 <h2>Opening a type hierarchy on the current text selection</h2>
37 To open a type hierarchy on a text selection, select the name of an Object Teams element
38 or Java element in the editor or package explorer and do one of the following:
39 <ul>
40 <li>Press <b>F4</b></li>
41 <li>select <b>Open Type Hierarchy</b> from the package explorer's pop-up menu</li>
42 </ul>
43 <b>Note</b>: If the selected Object Teams element or Java element is not a type or a
44 compilation unit, the hierarchy opens on the type enclosing the current selection.

55 Note, that for roles, the super types are not restricted to a linear chain, but due to combination
56 of explicit and implicit inheritance (<a href="otjld/def/s1.html#s1.3.1">OTJLD &sect;1.3.1 </a>)
57 a role may have multiple supers. E.g., in the picture, <code>HierarchyDisplayImpl.CompositeNode</code>
58 explicitly inherits from <code>HierarchyDisplayImpl.Node</code> and implicitly
59 inherits from <code>HierarchyDisplay.CompositeNode</code>.
