The Editor pane is located immediately beneath the Diagram pane on the right-hand side of the screen. Together features a robust, configurable programmers editor that rivals the best stand-alone editors with features like code-completion, bookmarks, symbol browsing, pane splitting, color and indentation schemes, and keyboard customization. If you prefer to use an external source code editor or IDE, no problem. You can configure Together to launch your favorite development tools.
The Editor highlights reserved words in the target programming language of the current project (or the default language supported by your Together product if no project is open). Presently syntax highlight is supported for Java, C++ and HTML.
The Editor pane can display multiple pages, each one with its own tab (similar to the Diagram pane). Each tab displays the filename of the file opened in it. There are several ways to open files for editing:
Click on a class or member in a Class diagram. The relevant source code file opens.
On the Editor pane speedmenu, choose Open to open any type of text file (source, text, HTML, XML, etc.)
In the Directory tab of the Explorer, use Edit or Edit in new tab on the speedmenu for source code files
