Editor Guide

pyIDE can open multiple files in tabs, including new untitled files.

• Unsaved indicators show files with pending changes.
• Save and Save As write the current tab.
• Closing a tab should prompt when work is unsaved.

The editor displays line numbers to make errors and navigation easier to follow.

• Syntax highlighting helps scan Python code.
• Undo and redo support normal editing recovery.
• Copy, cut, and paste follow standard desktop behavior.

Find, replace, find next, find previous, and replace all help revise code inside the current file.

• Use Ctrl+F for find.
• Use Ctrl+H for replace.
• Review Replace All carefully before applying broad changes.

Autocomplete suggests names while editing. The legacy version may use Jedi for enhanced completion where installed.

• Ctrl+Space can trigger completion where supported.
• Automatic bracket and quote completion may be available depending on version.

Syntax checking helps catch Python syntax errors before or during execution.

• Ctrl+K checks syntax where supported.
• Read error output for line numbers and messages.

Autosave can periodically save named files.

• Autosave does not save an untitled file until it has a path.
• Configure the interval in Settings.

Recent files and session restoration may help resume work where supported.

• Recent-file limits are controlled by settings.
• Session behavior may evolve during v2.0 development.

Use the keyboard-shortcut reference for file, edit, run, and tool commands.

• Some assignments may evolve during v2.0 development.
