Workflow run (with attached summary files): |
Adds a "Find Class" button that hides the spy, lets the user click any control, and then reports the owning e4 application-model element and its implementing class (contribution URI and bundle), unwrapping 3.x compatibility parts to reveal the real view/editor class. Reuses the shell-hiding behaviour of Select Control so the workbench window is not hidden when the spy runs as a part. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Adds a Find Class button to the layout spy. It hides the spy, lets the user click any control, and then shows the owning e4 application-model element and its implementing class in a copyable field.
Reported for the clicked control:
getObject()), unwrapping 3.xCompatibilityPartto reveal the real view/editor classResolution uses the e4 SWT renderer widget-data key
modelElement(AbstractPartRenderer.OWNING_ME); no new bundle dependencies (MUIElement/MContributioncome from the already-requiredorg.eclipse.e4.ui.model.workbench).Note
Stacked on #2388 (shares
LayoutSpyDialog). Review/merge #2388 first; this branch already contains its changes and the diff narrows to this feature once #2388 lands.
