Setup

When you open JereIDE, a welcome page would show with the version, the logo, and the tagline.

Get to Know the Command Palette

JereIDE has a useful Command Palette so you can search and run the commands you need. Press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P to open it. Press Esc, click outside, or execute a command to close it. You can select commands with top/down arrows or your mouse. You can run them with Enter or Return.

Creating, Writing, and Saving Tabs in JereIDE

Press Cmd/Ctrl+N to open a new tab.

The new tab will appear with a blank editor, with “Untitled” in the tab title. You can start typing now. After you are done, press Cmd/Ctrl+S to save the file. A dialog will open and you can choose a filename(and the extension too) and save it in the directory you want.

If a file is modified, or “dirty”, a dot will appear to the left of the tab title. After you save it, the dirty dot will vanish.

You can always close a tab by pressing Cmd/Ctrl+W.

Tip

All of these commands are available in the command palette as file: new, file: save, file: close tab, etc.

Opening Files and Folders
