Features

• Integrated terminal – a real cmd.exe in the bottom panel, with multiple terminals, command history, Tab completion of file names, Ctrl+C to interrupt the running program, mouse selection, copy/paste, and scrollback. Killing a terminal also kills every process it started. On Windows 95, 98 and Me, where COMSPEC is a 16-bit command.com whose output Windows will not put into a pipe, it runs one command at a time from a generated batch file instead – everything above the process is the same, but there is no standard input and Ctrl+C ends the command.
• Problems panel – compiler errors printed in the terminal (file:line: error: … from TCC/GCC, file(line) : error … from MSVC, Python tracebacks) are collected into the Problems panel and the status bar; click one, or Ctrl+click the line in the terminal, to jump to it.
• Editor – syntax highlighting for C/C++, Python, JavaScript, Batch, INI, HTML/XML and Markdown; line numbers, indent guides, bracket matching, auto-indent, auto-closing brackets and quotes, multi-level undo/redo, move/copy/delete line, toggle comment, find and replace, a minimap, and automatic reload when a file changes on disk.
• Workbench – activity bar, Explorer file tree (create, rename, delete, reveal), Search across files, tabs with unsaved-change markers, breadcrumbs, status bar, resizable side bar and panel.
• Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / F1), Quick Open (Ctrl+P) and Go to Line (Ctrl+G) with fuzzy matching.
• Run and build – F5 runs the active file in the terminal (.c is compiled with TCC first, .py runs with Python, .bat with call, .js with cscript); Ctrl+Shift+B runs the folder’s build.bat.
• Remembers the open folder, open files, window layout and zoom level between sessions.
