PlanetPress Talk Editor Features
What are the features of the PlanetPress Talk Editor?
The PlanetPress Talk Editor provides the following features for entering, editing, and executing code..
Feature: Description:
Easily cus-
tomized
appearance
and behavior
You can set a number of options that affect the appearance and behavior of the Editor.
Flexible code
entry
The Editor provides several ways to enter code, and it includes a number of features to enhance the speed and
efficiency of code entry. You can enter code in the PlanetPress Talk Editor by dragging and dropping commands
from the Commands area, double-clicking commands in the Commands area, or by typing commands directly in
the Code area as you would in a text editor.
When you type commands directly in the Code area, the command name completion can enhance the speed and
accuracy of command entry.
The Editor also provides a number of ways to enter arguments into a command, and makes it easy to quickly dis-
play a list of the arguments a command requires.
Syntax high-
lighting
You can use syntax highlighting to make the different elements of the code in the Code area easier to distinguish
visually. For example, you might choose to display all command names in a bold font with the color set to black,
and all comments in a regular font with the color set to gray.
Convenient
navigation
You can navigate in the Code area as you would in a text editor, using the arrow keys, and the scrollbars that
appear on the bottom and on the right of the Code area when the code extends beyond the size of the Code
area.
The Editor also provides bookmarks to make it easy to jump to a specific point in the code, and a feature to
make it easy to jump to a specific line number.

manipulation
of a region of
code
You can select a region of code and then cut, copy, paste, or delete that region.
