How To Open Class Editor Without Un-hiding Pages

Up to XWiki version 11.1 when I wanted to edit the class of an AWM, I navigated to the AWM home page, clicked the link “EDIT APPLICATION” and then choose “Class” from the “Edit” drop down menu to open the class editor. With 11.1 the “Edit” drop down menu is no longer visible after following “EDIT APPLICATION” and I have to use the special key “xxxh” to make the class page visible and editable. Is this a bug or a feature? How can I quickly open the class editor of an AWM?

Hi Guido, this shouldn’t be related to XWiki 11.1 but to your user, whether it’s advanced or not.

See https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/UserGuide/Features/PageEditing#HSimpleandAdvancededitingmodes

User type is set to “Advanced” and user is Admin, so I don’t think it’s related to that. Do you see the edit button after clicking “EDIT APPLICATION” in XWiki 11.1?

Hi Guido!
If you are still having this problem, I also tried on 11.1 XWiki and “Edit” button doesn’t appear in my case either.
What you can do is after you click on “Edit application” to press “S”, that is the keyboard shortcut for entering in class editor mode. https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/UserGuide/Features/KeyboardShortcuts

Thanks for the hint, Oana, that helps a lot!
