Description Frank Bruss CLA 2014-02-06 03:33:33 EST 
One click in the VEX outline view places the cursor at the start of the selected tag, without selecting the tag. It might be hard to find the cursor in a larger document. Double-click isn’t supported at all in the outline view. 
One possible solution might be to adopt the Java outline view behavior: single click selects the element, double click selects the element and gives the editor window focus.

I like that idea, especially as it is very easy to implement. Just pushed a proposed solution to gerrit (https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/21645/)

This functionality has been implemented with commit http://git.eclipse.org/c/mylyn/org.eclipse.mylyn.docs.vex.git/commit/?id=2ff5f5d5dd77f1061bbfe65950b956fc1a5228bd

Single click now selects the node in the widget, a double click sets the caret to the start of the node and gives focus to the widget.
