Embedded editor menu reference

Look up file commands, text editing, navigation, debugging, and terminal actions in Rumata’s full code editor.

Step-by-step guidance.

Before you start

  • Open the named screen in Rumata. Available controls may depend on your account, permissions, and resource state.

File menu

These commands work on the development machine. They do not publish a Rumata frontend. Browser restrictions, the selected file, and installed extensions affect which commands are available.

ControlWhat it does
New Text File / New File…Start an empty document or choose a new file type. Save it to keep it as a named workspace file.
New Window / New Window with ProfileRequest another editor window, optionally using a selected editor profile. This does not create a Rumata factory.
Open File / Open Folder / Open Workspace from File / Open RecentOpen the selected file, folder, saved editor workspace, or recent location.
Add Folder to Workspace / Save Workspace As / Duplicate WorkspaceManage the editor’s collection of folders and its workspace configuration. Duplicating the workspace does not duplicate Rumata databases or workflows.
Save / Save As / Save AllWrite the current file, save under another name, or write all pending files. Pushing to Git and deploying remain separate actions.
ShareOpen the editor’s available sharing commands. Inspect the destination before sharing code or links.
Auto SaveToggle automatic saving of editor files.
PreferencesOpen editor configuration choices, including settings and keyboard shortcuts.
Revert FileDiscard unsaved changes in the current file and reload its saved contents.
Close Editor / Close Folder / Confirm Before CloseClose a file tab, close the current folder, or choose whether leaving the editor requires confirmation. Closing does not delete a file.

Edit and Selection menus

Select the intended editor before using a text command. Multiple cursors apply a change in multiple places at once.

ControlWhat it does
Undo / RedoStep backward or forward through editor changes. This is not a rollback of database operations or published workflows.
Cut / Copy / PasteMove or copy selected text through the clipboard. Browser clipboard permission may affect availability.
Find / Replace / Find in Files / Replace in FilesSearch one file or the workspace. Replacement changes text; review matches before applying it.
Toggle Line Comment / Toggle Block CommentAdd or remove comment syntax around selected code.
Emmet: Expand AbbreviationExpand a supported abbreviation into markup or styling.
Select All / Expand Selection / Shrink SelectionChoose all text, a larger code region, or a smaller region.
Copy Line Up / Copy Line Down / Duplicate SelectionInsert a copy of the line or selection.
Move Line Up / Move Line DownReorder the selected line without copying it.
Add Cursor Above / Add Cursor Below / Add Cursors to Line EndsCreate extra editing positions so typing affects several locations.
Add Next Occurrence / Add Previous Occurrence / Select All OccurrencesSelect matching text in additional locations for simultaneous editing.
Switch to Cmd+Click for Multi-Cursor / Column Selection ModeChange how you create multiple cursors or select a rectangular block. Shortcut labels vary by operating system.

Run menu

Debugging runs a program while allowing you to pause and inspect it. Running code can contact real services and modify files or data.

ControlWhat it does
Start Debugging / Run Without DebuggingStart the selected program with debugging attached, or run it normally.
Stop Debugging / Restart DebuggingStop the active debug session or start it again. This does not undo effects already produced.
Open Configurations / Add ConfigurationInspect or create the project’s debugger setup.
Step Over / Step Into / Step Out / ContinueExecute one statement, enter a called function, return from the current function, or resume until the next pause.
Toggle Breakpoint / New BreakpointSet a place or condition where execution should pause.
Enable All Breakpoints / Disable All Breakpoints / Remove All BreakpointsActivate, temporarily ignore, or delete the debugger’s pause points.
Install Additional DebuggersFind debugger extensions. Installing one changes the editor environment.

Terminal menu

Use the terminal to run commands on your development machine. Commands and tasks can change your project; opening the menu does not run them.

ControlWhat it does
New Terminal / Split Terminal / New Terminal WindowOpen a command shell, add a shell beside the current one, or request a separate terminal window when supported.
Run Task / Run Build TaskChoose and execute a configured task or the project’s build task.
Run Active File / Run Selected TextSend the current file or selected text for execution. Inspect its contents first.
Show Running Tasks / Restart Running Task / Terminate TaskInspect, restart, or stop an editor task. Stopping it cannot reverse completed operations.
Configure Tasks / Configure Default Build TaskSet up reusable commands and select the default build.
