Editor

 Description

You can edit your local files by using the built-in Editor. The editor can be accessed either from the Working copy view or from the Synchronize view. The editor can also be used from the History view to view a selected revision of a file. In this case there are no edits allowed.

Editor View


Only one file can be edited at a time, if you try to open another file it will be opened in the same editor window. The editor has syntax highlighting for known file types. This means that a different color will be used for each type of recognized token in the file. If the content type of the file is unknown you will be prompted to choose the proper way the file should be opened.

After editing the content of the file you can save it to disk by using the Save action from the File menu or the Ctrl + S key shortcut. After saving your file you can see the file changed status into Working copy view and Synchronize view.
