To display a method's bytecodes you can right-click in the sourcecode
pane and choose 'show bytecodes' near the bottom of the context menu. It
acts as a toggle, so if you choose it again it will revert to the source
view.
But this shift- and control-activated "feature" doesn't display
bytecodes; it displays a decompiled version of the method sourcecode. I
haven't found a use for it yet, and it was quite a nuisance, so I
tentatively commented it out.
