Editor

Editor

The editor is the core feature of SQDev and currently ships with the following set of features:

• syntax-Highlighting: Basically this is just the highlighting of certain keywords in a different color than the rest of the code which contributes to the readability of your code. Right now the syntax highlighting only supoorts the SQF scripting language.
• Auto-CharacterPairHandling which means that if you type in a certain character, such as an opening bracket, the editor will automatically add the corresponding closing bracket to your code. It will also assist during the removal of such a characterPair. For instance if you have an empty String eclosed by two quotationmarks and you remove the beginning one it will automatically remove the closing one as well.
• Highlighting of matching brackets which means that you have your caret at the opening/closing bracket and the editor will highlight the corresponding bracket for you. This becomes really handy if you have a part in your code that contains nested brackets and can therefore be quite confusing when it comes to the association between the brackets.
• Content Assist: A little propup proposing possible command insertions to you
• Hover Assist: Hover over a SQF command and receive the respective information from the wiki right in the editor
• BIKI-connection: The BIKI-site of any SQF command is only only click away from you when using the SQF editor with hover assist

Apart of the SQF editor this plugin as well includes some additional editors whose features are similar to the ones of the SQF editor. Included editors: * SQDevFileEditor: An editor for working on [SQDevFiles](https://github.com/Krzmbrzl/SQDev/wiki/SQDevFile)
