New code editor in editor 2 launched!

[sicher]

Thanks for your feedback. Some notes:

@tsun.heang

Currently I cannot zoom in/out in the collection or atlas

Yes you can. Just zoom on touch pad, magic mouse or scroll wheel as in most other apps.

@tsun.heang

Search in both Assets and Outlines (I see Teaser for search in Outline )

“Search in files” searches in all project files and finds anything you see in outline as well (albeit in “raw” data format):

@tsun.heang

Import/Export assets file from other projects or source directly

Can you give examples of what you mean here?

[tsun.heang]

1. Zoom – I see we zoom with scrolling, but how do we drag/move around the canvas when zoom in?
2. Import/Export – Normally the Editors (or IDE) will have a working directory with my list of projects. So I can open this working directory and import/export assets (e.g. explosion file collection) from another project to the current project and the editor will manage/resolve dependencies for me

We have Defold libraries to deal with dependencies.

@tsun.heang

if I continue to work with Defold a lot (which I probably will), I probably want the Editor 2 to evolve to be IDE 2. In other word, it integrate the whole game development experience and Defold ecosystem into it, rather than just an editor.

What do you mean by this? What is missing in it’s current form? Integration with our Asset Portal? Or something else?

best news i’ve heard today.

Hey. Is it possible to use vim keybindings for the editor? I know that it’s possible to use visual code with plugins but native support for custom keybindings it would be great to have it in case if it’s not blocking point for delivering the other game development related features.

Thanks

We have configurable keybindings among the things we wish to add. Our editor dev team is growing so I do hope that we will be able to ship more features during the spring.

On Mac is it possible to change the font used in the code editor?

[Pkeod]

Not directly easily possible yet. It might be possible if you edit the editor.css (in the section /* Code view */ maybe?) change the font name inside of the Defold package .jar file. Maybe if you change it to a system font name it will work? Or add the font to the package too, and try editing the very top of the css to add your font or replace one of the already listed there.
