This was a design -decision. Textadept was built to support unlimited split views, so having a tab -bar with all open buffers would clutter the interface greatly. There is also the -question of where to place the bar (above, below, or to one side) and how many -to have (one for each split view or a single one under the menubar). - -You can see which buffer is active by looking at Textadept's titlebar. Pressing -`Ctrl+Tab` (`^⇥` on Mac OSX) cycles to the next buffer and `Ctrl+Shift+Tab` -(`^⇧⇥`) cycles to the previous one. - -## Buffer Browser - -To move quickly between buffers, press `Ctrl+B` (`⌘B` on Mac OSX) to open the -buffer browser. - - - -The buffer browser shows you a list of currently open buffers, the most recent -towards the bottom. Typing part of any filename filters the list. Spaces are -wildcards. You can also just use the arrow keys. Pressing `Enter` or clicking -`OK` switches to the selected buffer. - - - -## Split Views - -Textadept allows you to split the editor window as many times as you like either -horizontally or vertically. `Ctrl+Alt+S` or `Ctrl+Alt+H` splits horizontally -(top-bottom) and `Ctrl+Alt+V` splits vertically (`^S` and `^V` respectively on -Mac OSX). You can resize the splitter bar by clicking and dragging with the -mouse or using `Ctrl+Alt++` and `Ctrl+Alt+-` (`^+` and `^-`). The same file can -be worked with in multiple split views. - -Pressing `Ctrl+Alt+N` (`^⌥⇥` on Mac OSX) goes to the next view and `Ctrl+Alt+P` -(`^⌥⇧⇥`) goes to the previous one. - -To unsplit a view, enter the view to keep open and press `Ctrl+Alt+W` (`^W` on -Mac OSX). To unsplit all views, use `Ctrl+Alt+Shift+W` (`^⇧W`). - -## Sessions - -By default, Textadept saves the list of open buffers on exit so it can reload -them the next time it starts up. You can disable this by passing the `-n` or -`--no-session` switch to Textadept on startup. Sessions can be manually saved -and opened via the `File -> Save Session...` and `File -> Load Session...` -menus. - -Sessions save additional information such as current split views, caret and -scroll positions in each buffer, Textadept's window size, and recently opened -files. - -## Snapopen - -A quicker, though slightly more limited alternative to the standard -`File -> Open` dialog is snapopen. It behaves like the buffer browser, but -displays a list of files to open, including files in subdirectories. You can -snapopen the current file's directory with `Ctrl+Alt+Shift+O` (`^⌘⇧O` on Mac -OSX) or from the `Tools -> Snapopen -> Current Directory` menu. Snapopen is -pretty limited from the menu, but more versatile in scripts. See its [LuaDoc][]. -`Ctrl+U` (`⌘U`) snaps open `~/.textadept/`. - -[LuaDoc]: ../api/_M.textadept.snapopen.html - - |
