Komodo's Code Intelligence system is a set of tools that makes
browsing, searching, and programming complex code easier and more
accessible. Use the Code Browser to view the hierarchical code
structure within a program file or project. The Code Intelligence
system includes support for Python, Perl, Tcl, PHP, Ruby, and
JavaScript. Code Intelligence is comprised of the following
tools:
- Code
Browser: A tab that displays a hierarchical view
of all code constructs (for example, variables, methods,
imports) in all open files. In the Code Browser, symbols can be
sorted and filtered; the current scope of a symbol can be
located. To access the Code Browser, click
View|Tabs|Code Browser. The Code Browser is
displayed on the Code tab beside the
Projects tab.
- AutoComplete and
CallTips: The Code Intelligence system is used to
drive autocomplete and calltip functionality for Perl, Python,
Tcl, Ruby, JavaScript, XSLT, CSS, and XML (including HTML and
DTD).
The Python
Tutorial demonstrates the Code Browser and other Code
Intelligence tools. See the Python Tutorial to
explore a Python program in Komodo.
Use the Code Browser to view the general
program structure of all source files open in the Editor Pane.
For each source file, the Code Browser displays a tree of symbol
nodes, including modules, classes, functions, interfaces,
namespaces, imports and variables. In Python, instance attributes
are also displayed. Each node in the tree hierarchy can be
expanded to display further detail, acting as an index to your
source code. Symbols can be sorted,
filtered, and the current scope of a symbol can be located.
The Code Browser supports the following languages: Python, Perl,
PHP, Ruby, Tcl, and JavaScript.
Use the Code Browser to:
- View program structure.
- Browse from a listed namespace, command, or variable
definition and jump to the actual source code where it is
declared.
- Locate all variables used within a file.
- View a symbol definition signature.
- Find all defined symbols matching a pattern.
Right-click in the Code Browser Pane to
access code searching options. The following options are
available:
- Go to Definition: Jumps to the definition
of the associated symbol in the editor. Alternatively,
double-click the symbol name in the Code Browser tree. Objects
defined within the file, in user-defined modules, and in the
site library are accessible in this way; objects defined in a
language's standard library are not. (See also Editor: Navigating within
Files)
- Copy: Copies the symbol name to the
clipboard.
- Sort By File Order: Sorts all symbols in
the tree by file order.
- Sort Alphabetically: Sorts all symbols in
the tree alphabetically.
Use the Sort By button to organize all Code
Browser symbols by file order or alphabetically. To sort all
symbols by file order, click Sort By, and then
select Sort By File Order from the drop-down
list. To sort all symbols alphabetically, click Sort
By, and then select Sort Alphabetically
from the drop-down list. Alternatively, use the context menu (right-click
in the Code Browser) to access sorting options.
Use the Locate Current Scope button to find
the scope of a symbol (for example, namespace, command, or
variable definition). To view the scope of a symbol, place the
cursor on the desired symbol in the source code and then click
the Locate Current Scope button. The Code
Browser tree opens to the associated scope. Alternatively, click
Code|Locate Current Scope in Code Browser to
open the Code Browser tree to the associated scope.
The Filter Symbols text box limits the Code Browser
display to matching symbols. To filter symbols in the Code Browser, enter the
desired symbol name, or partial name, in the text box. The filter supports
regular expressions (Python syntax). If there is an error in the pattern, the
text is highlighted and a tooltip describes the error.
Press 'Tab' to switch focus between the Filter text box and the Code
Browser tree. Press 'Esc' to clear the current filter pattern.
The Object Browser is currently being
re-implemented with Komodo's new Code Intelligence backend and is
not available in this release.
