Content Editor in the Modeling Workbench

The Content Editor is available as a tab in the details pane for the following items:

• Object type (extensions) and base config
• Modules (the Overview tab)
• Transformations for modules

In the Content Editor, you can add or edit the underlying ini files of these items directly. The Content Editor displays files with ini markup. Syntax highlighting is supported to make it easier to see the structure of the file. The line numbers of the file are displayed at the beginning of each line.

The Content Editor supports standard editor features like searching, find and replace, and quick navigation. Additional functions are available in the Command Palette. You can access the Command Palette by pressing F1 or by right-clicking in the Content Editor and selecting it in the context menu.

Navigating the Content Editor

For quick navigation in the Content Editor, a thumbnail of the ini file structure is displayed at the top corner of the editor. If the file is too long to be displayed on the screen in its entirety, you can click this thumbnail to quickly jump to another section of the file. Alternatively, you can use the scroll bar to navigate the file.
