Overview


Workspace

A workspace is a single instance of a CodeEdit window that represents one open project.

You can have multiple workspaces open with one project each.

Editor

The editor takes up the main section in the workspace. It displays the content of the selected file.

Sidebars

A workspace has two sidebars. The navigator sidebar and the inspector sidebar. Sidebars can be toggled to show or hide and may be resized.

Navigator Sidebar

The navigator sidebar sits on the leading edge of the workspace window and is used to navigate through the project. It contains the Project Navigator, Find Navigator, Extension Navigator, and more.

Inspector Sidebar

The Inspector sidebar is dynamic to the currently selected file. It contains the File Inspector, History Inspector, and more depending on the file type of the selected file.

Statusbar

The statusbar sits on the bottom of the Editor. It gives quick access to some editor-specific settings, shows the location of the cursor in the editor, and gives access to the integrated terminal, output view, and debug console.

Toolbar

The toolbar is the top most part of the workspace window. It contains buttons for toggling the sidebars, the branch selector, and other toolbar items.

Tabbar

The tabbar sits on top of the editor and shows tabs for each opened file. Tabs can be reordered or closed. Once selecting a tab the content of the selected file will show up in the editor.

Breadcrumbs

The breadcrumbs navigator is located just below the tabbar and visually presents the path of the currently opened file in the project. When selecting a path section a menu appears to browse the contents of the parent directory.
