4. Using the Editor
This chapter describes how to use the editor that is provided with the High-performance Embedded Workshop.
4.1 The Editor Window
The editor window (figure 4.1) contains the file windows that are being viewed or edited. Only one window is
active at anytime. This window is called the active window (or current window) and its title bar will appear a
different color from that of the others (“dbsct.c” is the active window in figure 4.1). All text operations such as
typing, pasting text and so forth only affect the active window. To switch to another source file window (i.e. to
make some other window the active window) there are a number of methods:
• Click on it if it is visible.
• Press CTRL+TAB to cycle through the windows one after another.
• Select the window by name from the “Window” menu.
• Select its tab at the bottom of the editor window.
When a file has been edited, an asterisk (*) is appended to the window’s title bar. The asterisk remains there
until the file is saved. The asterisk is also removed if all of the edited changes are undone in the current window.
