Editing & Navigation
Basic editing
Cut, copy, paste, undo, and redo all work as you’d expect, both via keyboard shortcuts and the Edit menu — see Keyboard Shortcuts for the full list.
Auto-indent: pressing Enter continues the current line’s leading whitespace onto the new line.
Block indent: with a multi-line selection, Tab indents every selected line and Shift+Tab outdents it — instead of the usual single-line “replace selection with a tab character” behavior.
Toggle line comment (⌘/): comments or uncomments the current line (or every line in a selection) with the right comment syntax for the file’s detected language.
Find & Replace
Open the find bar with ⌘F. It sits below the toolbar and includes:
- A Find field — press Enter to jump to the next match
- Match case and Whole word toggles
- A live match counter (
3/12) - Prev / Next buttons to step through matches, which are highlighted in the editor
- A Replace field with Replace (current match) and Replace All buttons
Press Escape, or the Close button, to dismiss the bar.
Go to Line
⌘G opens a small floating “Go to Line” prompt — type a line number and jump straight to it.
Word wrap
Preferences includes a Word Wrap toggle (also in the View menu). On, long lines soft-wrap to the pane width. Off, lines run past the visible width with a horizontal scrollbar instead.
Drag-and-drop
Drop one or more files onto the Nib window to open them, the same as File > Open.
Zoom
⌘= / ⌘- zoom the current tab’s font size in and out; ⌘0 resets it. Zoom is per-tab, not global — zooming one tab never changes the app-wide font size set in Preferences.
