2.5.1.5. File editor

File Manager has a built-in editor with a simple interface and syntax highlighting.

To open a file in the built-in file manager editor, click on its name or double-click on its row.

At the top of the editor window there is a toolbar with the following buttons:

• "Save" (shortcut Ctrl+S) — save changes to the file.
• "Save and exit" — save changes to the file and close the editor.
• "Save as" — save the current file with a different name.
• "Undo" (shortcut Ctrl+Z) — undo last change.
• "Redo" (shortcut Ctrl+Y) — redo last change.
• "Search" (shortcut Ctrl+F) — search in the file contents.
• "Autocomplete" — enable/disable autocompletion of the text according to the entered part of the text. The prompts are determined by the format of the edited file.
• "Word wrap" — enable/disable word line wrap.
• "Theme" — switch to a dark/light theme.
• "UTF-8" — switch the editor encoding to UTF-8/CP-1251.
• "Expand" — enable/disable full screen mode.
• "Close" — close the editor window without saving the changes made.

By default, a normal search opens:

• "Search for" — pattern to be found.
• "<" — move to the previous match.
• ">" — move to the next match.
• "All" — switch to the multicursor mode and select all matches.
• "×" — close the search bar.
• "+" — enable/disable the search mode with replacement.
• "0 of 0" — number of the current match and the total number of matches found.
• ".*" — enable/disable regular expression mode.
• "Aa" — enable/disable character case sensitivity.
• "\b" — enable/disable the whole word search mode.
• "S" — search only on the selected text fragment.

When the search with replace mode is enabled, an additional line is added:

• "Replace with" — pattern to replace the found matches with.
• "Replace" — replace the current match.
• "All" — replace all the matches.

In the center, the contents of the file you are editing are displayed:

At the bottom of the editor window, a status bar with the following information is displayed:

• Absolute path to the edited file.
• Current cursor coordinates — in which line and at which position the cursor is now located.
