We've got a shiny new Code Editor!

We’ve updated the IDE in the Code Panel. It’s got a slicker look and feel, and has enhancements that make coding even easier and more professional for our Wix Coders.

What’s New?

  • Variable highlighting: Click anywhere in a variable and we’ll highlight all the other places that variable is used.

  • Parenthesis highlighting: Want to check if you closed your parenthesis or brackets? Click on one and we’ll highlight the other.

  • Auto-suggest: Just start typing and we’ll try and guess the code you’re trying to use. If you like our guess, just hit Enter and we’ll finish the code for you.

  • New styling
    Check it out yourself to see the rest.

Hello Shiran
The update is really helpful. But can you add a comment /uncomment button feature to the waiting list for the future editor versions. With this feature the user should be able to select the lines he want to comment and then click on the comment button to comment and click on uncomment button to uncomment the code later.

Moreover I found that we cannot copy the code by right clicking the mouse in the new editor. We need to use the Ctrl c Ctrl v option. Is it designed like that or is it a bug? Thanks… :grinning:

Great news! Love it… adding comments to larger blocks I just use /* in the start and */ in the end.

Hey Nithin,

For commenting, select the rows you want to comment/uncomment and hit command + /. Not sure what it is on a PC, probably ctrl + /.

Hey Jeff, Andreas,

Thanks for your reply. @Jeff I will try it today. I just told it might be helpful for non programmers to have a button to comment and uncomment easily( like a visual studio.). Anyway I will add some points that I would love to have in the future version of editor in the feature request page. Thanks.

I find the pink hard to read… and mayybe a darker blue?
