Code Editor

EdenSpark has a built-in code editor for editing your project’s scripts and text files without leaving the editor. Files open as docked tabs.

Note

Which editor opens a file is controlled by the Text Editor Mode setting in Preferences — the built-in editor (default), VS Code, or a custom external editor. This page describes the built-in one.

Opening files

• Double-click a script or text file in the Project panel, or use Open in Text Editor from its context menu.

• Double-clicking an entry in the Console, or the Open In Editor button on a notification, opens the relevant file at that line.

• Opened files are docked tabs; their layout is restored between sessions. Ctrl+Shift+T reopens the last closed tab. A tab with unsaved changes is marked with a dot.

Menus

Each editor tab has its own menu bar, with a status read-out on the right showing the cursor’s line and column, the line count, the insert/overwrite mode, and the detected language.

File

• Save — save the current file.

• Save all (Ctrl+S) — save every open file.

Edit

• Auto indent on enter — a toggle for automatic indentation on new lines.

• Undo / Redo, Copy / Cut / Paste, Select all.

• Auto format (Ctrl+Alt+F) — reformat the file (Daslang only).

View

• Tab size and Line spacing sliders.

• Show spaces — show whitespace characters.

• Show line numbers.

• Short tabs — use shorter tab headers.

• Language — the syntax-highlighting language (detected from the file extension by default).

• Color scheme — the editor color palette (Dark, Light, and others).

Find

• Go to line (Ctrl+G).

• Find (Ctrl+F) and Replace (Ctrl+H) — open the find/replace toolbar below.

Find and replace

Ctrl+F opens the find toolbar; Ctrl+H opens it with the replace row expanded (you can also toggle the replace row with the arrow button on the left). The toolbar offers:

• A Find… field. Next / Prev jump between matches — also Enter / F3, and Shift+Enter / Shift+F3 for the previous match. The view re-centers on each match.

• Aa — case-sensitive matching.

• Whole words — match whole words only.

• A Replace… field with Replace (current match) and Replace all buttons.

• x or Escape closes the toolbar.

Keyboard shortcuts

In addition to the usual text-editing keys (Ctrl+C / Ctrl+X / Ctrl+V / Ctrl+A):

• Ctrl+S — save all open files.

• Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z — undo / redo.

• Ctrl+F / Ctrl+H — find / replace.

• Ctrl+G — go to line.

• Ctrl+/ — toggle line comment.

• Ctrl+] / Ctrl+[ — indent / unindent the selected lines.

• Ctrl+Shift+Up / Ctrl+Shift+Down — move the selected lines up / down.

• Ctrl+Shift+K — remove the current line(s).

• Ctrl+D — add a cursor at the next occurrence of the selection (multi-cursor editing).

• Insert — toggle overwrite mode.

• Ctrl+= / Ctrl+- — increase / decrease the font size (also Ctrl + mouse wheel).

Daslang features

For .das files the editor adds:

• Syntax highlighting.

• Auto-completion — press Ctrl+Space for fuzzy-matched suggestions (module, struct, and function names) with descriptions; Up / Down to navigate, Tab or Enter to apply.

• Auto-format — Ctrl+Alt+F (or Edit > Auto format) reformats the file.

• Error markers — compilation errors are marked on the offending line with their message; the same errors are listed in the Console.

Saving and external edits

• Ctrl+S saves all open files. Starting the game also saves modified files first when Auto save files on play is enabled in Preferences.

• If a file is changed on disk outside the editor, the open tab reloads automatically; if it is deleted or renamed, the tab closes.
