Editor

The Editor is made up of 3 parts: the Phrase toolbar on the left side, the text editor in the center, and the status bar at the bottom.

Phrase toolbar

This toolbar contains shortcuts for inserting English-like phrases into the text editor. The toolbar can be hidden from view under the menu: View->Show Phrases. For information on using phrases, see Using phrases.

Text editor

The text editor covers the majority of the window. Like a standard text editor, cut-copy-paste functionality is supported, along with undo/redo. However, unlike a standard text editor, using TAB while selecting a range of text will cause the selected lines to indent. Shift-TAB unindents the text. Selecting the Comment or Uncomment buttons will cause the selected lines to be commented or uncommented.

Note: Any text appearing after a comment ('//') symbol until the end of the line is ignored by the script interpreter.

Status bar

The status bar at the bottom of the window identifies the line and column number the cursor is currently on. It also has an embedded "Find..." window. Finally, it includes buttons for changing the size of the font in the text editor.

An additional message will pop up when attempting to export a sequence, either reporting success (green bar at the bottom), or an error (red bar). If an error occurred, clicking the message will jump to the place in the sequence the interpreter had trouble understanding. For more information on the errors, please see Interpreter errors.
