We have released a new version of the Frontend Toolchain for a greatly improved editing experience.
A video is worth 1000 words, so here it goes:
Here is a list of changes as a quick reference:
new Block mode instead of icons
toggle by hotkey
to exit Block mode, you can also press Esc or click a blank area
highlighter shows what can be selected
grab selected files anywhere for dragging
the mouse cursor will indicate if dropping will move / copy / do nothing
right click for the contextmenu
block selection mode:
bottom-up by default - the deepest file under the mouse will be selected
double-click to select elements higher up in the hierarchy
you can switch to top-down mode to select the top-most element first and drill downwards on double-click
delete files by hitting the Delete key on your keyboard
select multiple files via Ctrl-click
the contextmenu is supported on multiple files
you can move them around with the mouse, press Ctrl to copy
Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V are supported for selected files
Ctrl+V starts pasting the selection, use the drop guide for finishing the paste operation
on/off switch
file upload: the toolchain must be turned on
Text mode
autosave
explicitely save/discard changes
upon reload, the page scroll position and your cursor focus are restored
improved feedback: some text blocks support formatting, others don’t
the New Panel and the File Panel are now on individual tabs on the Sidebar
Version tab removed, access from the Control Panel
new button: temporarily remove toolchain
profile image instead of your name
the IDE is now a generic package you can install
clicking the IDE will ask you to install it if it is not yet installed
you can now use undo/redo within the IDE
you can now use the New Panel within the IDE
use Block mode for file operations
Cheers,
