Welcome to the Komodo User Guide

  • What's new in Komodo Edit

    • Workspace Save and Restore: Komodo will now be regularly saving your workspace. In the case of an unexpected shutdown, you can choose to restore your last used workspace the next time it starts up.
    • Places: A new file manager has been added to Komodo's left pane. It provides a customized view of your file system (local or remote) and easy file management operations such as file editing, drag/drop copying, creation of new files and folders, and search.
    • Faster: A number of Komodo components have been made to run faster, such as startup, shutdown, tab-switching and finding text. The underlying Mozilla source code has been updated to version 1.9.1, the same code base as Firefox 3.5, which means improved performance gains for Komodo.
    • New Toolbox: The Komodo toolbox and project system are being rewritten. Individual toolbox items (commands, macros, snippets, etc.) are saved in separate JSON files rather than as nodes in a toolbox.kpf file. There is a new "Invoke Tool" command which allows you to easily search and then execute specific tools. In future versions project-specific tools will appear in the Toolbox sidebar instead of the Projects sidebar, which will eventually be removed.
    • Hyperlink Additions: Hyperlinks have been extended and can now...
      • jump to an HTML anchor tag to it's definition,
      • jump to HREF and SRC locations,
      • open files from a path reference,
      • jump to PHP file includes
    • HTML 5 and CSS3 Support: Autocomplete for HTML 5 and CSS3.
