Welcome to the PrEditor wiki!

Use and Features

• Console: The top section is a python REPL allowing you to run code like you are in the python interactive shell. However, you can't use code blocks(...), use the workbox instead.
  • Python's stdout and stderr are written here including exceptions.
  • If the cursor is at the very end of the last line, and that line starts with a prompt (>>> this includes 1 space) the code is executed when you press return. Pressing return on any other prompt line copies that line to the end ready to execute.
  • Pressing Ctrl + Up/Down will cycle through previous command history.
  • The console is a text edit and you can edit any of the text so you can fix your mistakes as you make them
• Workbox: The workbox is a place to write complex multi-line code. The contents of all workboxes are saved when PrEditor is closed or pressing Ctrl + S.
  • Workboxes are grouped into tabs of workboxes. You can drag and drop individual workboxes between groups and re-order them.
  • Ctrl + Return runs all code inside of the current workbox.
  • Shift + Return or the Number-pad Return executes the selected text or the line the cursor is on.
  • run_workbox("group/tab") This command is added allowing you to run the contents of a workbox. Pass the name of the group and workbox tabs separated by a forward slash.
• Logging Level button: Tools for managing python loggers.
  • This button shows all known python loggers and lets you view/change their logging levels.
  • You can install logging handlers that have had PrEditor plugins written for them.
  • Known python logger levels are saved and restored.
• All code is run in __main__. In code you can add objects to it for inspection in PrEditor.
• Ctrl + Shift + PgUp/PgDown changes focus between the console and workbox.
• Ctrl + Alt + Shift + PgUp/PgDown changes focus and copies the current prompt line of the console, or the current line of the workbox to the other.
