Code folding
Fold levels can be used to simplify the view in the Source
Code Editor windows by allowing you to "fold" each major
section of the code (DEFINE_DEVICE,
DEFINE_CONSTANT, DEFINE_TYPE, etc.) so that only the
header row is visible. This way, you only see the section(s)
that you are actually working in. In order to use fold levels,
you must first enable the option in the Editor tab of the Pref-
erences dialog (by default, this option is disabled).
Auto-suggest and
Auto-complete functionality
As you type in a variable name, device name or a language
reserved word, the program will suggest a name that has
been previous defined within the source code (this option is
toggled on and off in the Preference dialog - Editor Options
tab). Press the Tab key to incorporate an Auto-Suggest.
Syntax Highlighting
The text in the Editor windows is syntax highlighted for
increased readability with a default set of colors. Use the
options in the Editor Options tab of the Preferences dialog to
customize various aspects of the Source Code editor win-
dows (i.e. syntax highlighting, auto-indent, show/hide line
numbers and clipboard text buffer settings).
Note: Syntax highlighting assigns different colors to different
types of data in your Source Code file. Use syntax highlight-
ing to make your code easier to read and manage. For
example, you could syntax highlight all comments to yellow,
all identifiers to red and strings to blue to make them more
easily identifiable in your code file.
Drag and drop Support
Drag and drop any supported file type from Explorer into the
Source Code Editor to open that file in a new Source Code
Editor window.
Drag and drop selected text to another Editor window (at the
cursor location), or to another location within the same Editor
window.
Floating Window
Source Code Editor windows are moveable and resizeable.
Use the options in the Window menu to arrange (cascade or
tile) multiple windows.
Windows > New Window
Use the New Window option in the Window menu to open
the same code file in multiple Editor windows. This feature
allows you to view and edit different locations in a large code
file.
Source Code Editor
context menu
Right-click anywhere within a Source Code Editor window to
open the Source Code Editor context menu.
Columnar Cut, Copy
and Paste
Hold down the Alt key and select text with the left mouse but-
ton for columnar Cut, Copy, and Paste operations.
Insert Section
Use the Edit > Insert Section option to insert a (empty) sec-
tion of code at the cursor position.
Goto Section
Use the Edit > Goto Section option to move the cursor to the
beginning of a selected section of code in the active Editor
window.
Undo and Redo
The Edit > Undo and Redo commands allow unlimited Undo/
Redo operations.
Make Selection Uppercase and
Make Selection Lowercase
Use the Edit > Make Selection Uppercase and Make Selec-
tion Lowercase commands to automatically change the case
on a selection of text.
Sequentially Renumber Selection
Use the Edit > Sequentially Renumber Selection command
to sequentially renumber selected number text in the active
Editor window.
Block Comment-Uncomment
The Edit > Block Comment-Uncomment option allows you to
block comment-uncomment selected text in the active Editor
window.
