Text Editors

There is two possible text editors to edit text. Both text editors support text autocompletion.

Text Editor

GroIMP includes a built-in text editor for editing source code and text files directly within the environment. When a file—such as a script or text document—is selected from the File Explorer, it automatically opens in this editor.

The editor supports standard editing operations, including:

  • Cut & Paste
  • Undo / Redo
  • Save

This integrated editor allows users to conveniently write and modify XL code or other text-based content without needing external software. For some file types, additional actions are triggered when a file of that type is saved. For example, source code is compiled immediately.

Text Editor jEdit

If the jEdit plugin is installed, GroIMP uses jEdit as the default text editor instead of its simple internal editor. jEdit offers enhanced functionality, including:

  • Syntax highlighting
  • A wide range of edit, search, and print commands
  • Customizable settings and advanced scripting support

For detailed usage instructions, refer to the comprehensive documentation available via jEdit’s Help menu.
