Validate As You Type

<oXygen/> can be configured to mark validation errors in the edited document as you modify it using the keyboard. If you enable the Validate as you type option any validation errors and warnings will be highlighted automatically in the editor panel after the configured delay from the last key typed, with underline markers in the editor panel and small rectangles on the right side ruler of the editor panel, in the same way as for manual validation invoked by the user.

If the error message is long and it is not displayed completely in the error line at the bottom of the editing area double-clicking on the error icon at the left of the error line or on the error line displays an information dialog with the full error message. The arrow buttons of the dialog enable the navigation to other errors issued by the validation as you type feature.
