Editor Core

The editor core offers all functions you can expect from a modern AMIGA editor.

You get unlimited configurable undo/redo, configurable syntax highlighting, templates, folding, automatic backup creation, macro recording and a script language (Rexx). Block functions include support for columnar blocks. Advanced layout fuctions provide constant reformatting and word wrap while you are typing. Drag & Drop is supported, ie. text can be moved with the mouse.Scrolling is exceptionally fast even on slow Amigas. Optional input aids include IntelliSense (context-sensitive completion of words) and AutoCase (automatic case correction). At the end of a day, you can use the session management functions to save the current state of your work.

Filetypes Support

GoldED recognizes the type of files when a document is loaded and automatically adjusts the editing environment for that specific file.

For example, the menu will show compiler specific functions and the editor will highlight keywords of the programming language when loading a C source code. Every window can use a different menu, different fonts, etc.

User Interface Features

User interface features include configurable toolbars, online help for all buttons, asynchronous requesters and context-specific pop-up menus. All aspects of the user interface are configurable: fonts, colors, toolbars, menus, mouse, etc. Notebook-style requesters and treeviews simplify the configuration. Windows can be hidden ("frozen") temporarily and dialog boxes (e.g. the find requester) can be left open permanently. Background processes like printing and backup generation are multithreaded and do not block the user interface. The editor can handle an unlimited number of open screens and windows.

Extensive support for programmers

GoldED Studio seamlessly integrates with StormC and SAS/C. For example, built-in source level debugger support  is provided for StormC users (breakpoints are displayed next to the text). A configurable references system for includes, autodocs, source codes and other material helps you with finding information quickly. The QuickInfo function constantly shows information related to the word under the cursor (e.g. the prototypes of OS functions). The editor automatically highlights the matching bracket when the cursor if placed over a bracket and can check bracket nesting while you are typing. QuickFunc scanners can list all functions, labels etc. defined in your source codes and simplify navigation. Built-in grep support allows you to search patterns in a list of files and to "touch" files (or to search files on your disks). Support for the RCS revision control system is available.
