Edit tab w/CodeMirror Keyboard Mapping

AstLinux now supports the versatile CodeMirror text editor, implemented in JavaScript for the browser. CodeMirror is now the default text editor within the AstLinux web interface Edit tab, but users may still use the standard HTML editor if they choose.

Note: AstLinux 1.3.7 or later is required

New options can be found under the Prefs tab → Edit tab Options:

Unchecking “CodeMirror Editor” will revert back to using the standard HTML editor.

The user may select a “Theme”, the [default] is colored text on a white background.

Tip -> Themes [solarized], [seti-mks] and [zenburn] are worth a look.

AstLinux Specific Keyboard Mapping

Toggle Fullscreen → Tab

Fullscreen mode will make the text editing area use the full current window. Tab will toggle between the two states, very handy.
To insert a Tab (for spacing) within the editor window, you need to type Ctrl-Alt-Tab (on a Mac).

Exit Fullscreen → Esc

The natural key choice to return to normal mode. Only applies when in fullscreen mode.

Toggle Comment → Ctrl-/ or Ctrl-. (PC), Cmd-/ or Cmd-. (Mac)

Comment or un-comment the selected line(s) depending on the current comment state.
