Code Editor

Embedded Studio has a built-in editor that is particularly well suited to editing code. Its features provide you with everything needed for efficient development.

The built-in editor is far more than a simple text editor. These are some of its features.

Bracket highlighting

For easy identification of code blocks, even with not nicely formatted code, the matching bracket to the one at the cursor is highlighted.

Code completion

Embedded Studio provides suggestions for code completion based on your application, while you type.

Code folding

For folding code that is currently irrelevant.

The image displays a programming code snippet, focusing on the definition of the `SysTick_Handler` function. It includes conditional compilation directives and error messages related to building a solution in a development environment. The context relates to a hardware timer exception handler.

Code templates

Code templates enable easy insertion of text blocks, such as function headers for documentation tools, or skeletons for your functions.

Easy navigation

Quick input for text, methods, and files accelerate search and open. Bookmarks provide fast switches between locations of interest.

Syntax highlighting

The code editor supports the language of the source file it is editing, showing code with syntax highlighting.

Toggle Split Window

Split Windows enable a quick overview of different source lines in the same file.

The image displays a code snippet from a C programming file for a SEGGER embedded application. It includes comments, header information, and function prototypes for RTOS and BSP integration. Key features include references to extern "C" for C++ compatibility and a main task function declaration.

Unused code highlighting

Based on pre-processor defines, from the project settings or the sources, unused code is greyed out.

Visual Scrollbar Appearance

Embedded Studios Scrollbar shows different Information about the code so that it can be navigated to quickly.

The image shows a coding interface with source code displayed on the left, including function calls and comments about software timers. On the right, there is a source navigator panel containing a list of libraries and functions related to embedded systems programming.
