9.2. Quickstart
The Quickstart view is the primary portal to all Precision32 development tasks. This view will be extended in the
future to include more features and tasks.
Most of the functions available in the Quickstart view are available in other locations in the IDE. However, these
alternate methods sometimes behave differently than the Quickstart link. The Quickstart view is the quickest and
easiest way to navigate the development tasks in the IDE.
9.3. Code Editor
The Code Editor view has many customizable options. This section discusses the default behavior in the
Precision32 IDE.
Hovering over a symbol in the Code Editor view will open a type-specific viewer. For variables, this pop-up viewer
displays the declaration of the variable. The viewer displays an expanded version of macros. Finally, hovering over
a function will display the first few lines of the function.
Right-clicking on a symbol provides a long list of options. For example, selecting SourceCorrect Indentation
will adjust the indentation of the line, and SourceToggle Comment will toggle between commenting or
uncommenting the line. The Declarations, References, Search Text options will do various searches and open a
Search view in the Status view.
The panel to the right of the scroll bar displays tags as shown in Figure 10. A red tag here indicates a build error,
while a yellow tag indicates a warning. A blue tag indicates an informational message. Hovering over the tag with
the mouse cursor provides more information about the problem.
