Editor & files
The editor
Tabs, quick open, project search, autosave, snippets and Emmet, keyboard shortcuts, and the touch editor on phones.
Two editors, one project
On a laptop you get Monaco, the editor inside VS Code. On a phone or tablet you get a touch editor built on CodeMirror — bigger targets, a bottom bar, and sheets instead of side panels. Both open the same files with the same colours and snippets, and your theme (20 of them) recolours both.
Moving around
| Shortcut | Does |
|---|---|
| Ctrl/⌘ + P | Go to file (and, with >, commands) |
| Ctrl/⌘ + Shift + F | Search the whole project |
| Ctrl/⌘ + B | Show or hide the file explorer |
| Ctrl/⌘ + S | Save now (it autosaves anyway) |
| Alt + / or ? | Every shortcut, searchable |
Shortcuts are shown for your machine — ⌘ and ⌥ on a Mac, Ctrl and Alt elsewhere.
Saving
Everything autosaves a moment after you stop typing. If two people save the same file at once without live collaboration, KODEO shows both versions and asks which to keep — it never overwrites your unsaved text silently.
Writing faster
- About 110 snippets for common languages, and Emmet for HTML and CSS (type
ul>li*3and press Tab). - Suggestions know your whole project, and the types of installed packages.
- The breadcrumb above line 1 shows where you are; click a part to jump.
Preferences
Editor preferences (the gear in the top bar) sets font size, tab size, word wrap, minimap and more. They follow your account to every device.
