Editing & Navigation
Beyond the AI features, the panes are real code editors. This page covers the everyday editing and navigation tools.
Find and replace
Section titled “Find and replace”Press Ctrl + F to open the find and replace panel for the active pane. Search within the loaded function, step through matches, and replace one or all.
Go to line
Section titled “Go to line”Press Ctrl + G to open the go-to-line box, type a line number, and jump straight there. Handy in longer function bodies.
Indentation
Section titled “Indentation”The editor follows your indentation preference and keeps blocks tidy as you type:
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Indent the current line | Tab |
| Unindent the current line | Shift + Tab |
- Choose Tabs or Spaces with Indentation Type in settings.
- Set how wide a tab is (and how many spaces a soft tab inserts) with Tab Space
Count (default
4). - Pressing Enter carries the current indentation onto the new line, and
typing an opening
{auto-expands into an indented block with the closing}. - Backspace is indentation-aware, removing a level of leading whitespace in one press where appropriate.
Syntax highlighting and colors
Section titled “Syntax highlighting and colors”Both panes use a built-in C++ tokenizer. Pick a look with the Color Preset in settings:
| Preset | Notes |
|---|---|
| Midnight Studio | The default. |
| Cosmic Code | A warmer alternative. |
| Custom | Set every token color yourself. |
Switching to Custom unlocks individual colors for text, keywords, comments, strings, numbers, types, function names, and class names, plus the word-highlight color, the editor tab colors, and the modified-file indicator color. You can also set the Font Size and a Bold Font toggle. See Settings for the full color list.
Word highlighting
Section titled “Word highlighting”Matching occurrences of the word under the cursor are highlighted across the pane, which makes it easy to see every use of a variable at a glance. The highlight color is one of the customizable colors above.
Open in Explorer
Section titled “Open in Explorer”The editor’s right-click menu includes Open in Explorer, which opens the location of the current file in Windows File Explorer, a quick bridge to your IDE or the rest of the file.
Customizing the shortcuts
Section titled “Customizing the shortcuts”Every shortcut on this page (find, go to line, indent, unindent, and more) is remappable under Project Settings → Plugins → Code Editor → Keyboard Shortcuts. The full default list is on the Keyboard Shortcuts page.
