Multi-language file support
Correct syntax coloring of multi-language files and templated files, common in many web programming frameworks. Add custom language support (User-Defined Languages or UDL, used to provide support for RHTML, Template-Toolkit, HTML-Mason, Smarty and Django).
Standard editing features
Code commenting, auto-indent and outdent, block selection, incremental search, reflow paragraph, join lines, enter next character as raw literal, repeat next keystroke and clean line endings on "save".
Syntax checking
Instant feedback for all fully-supported languages.
Syntax coloring
Spot errors easily and improve readability and context, even in multi-language files (unique to Komodo!).
Vi emulation
Modal Vi keybindings emulate navigation, text insertion and command behavior. Custom commands can be implemented by adding Komodo macros to a Vi Commands Toolbox folder.
Emacs keybindings
Emacs-like keybinding scheme supports new editor features modeled on Emacs, such as transient marks (similar to the Emacs "mark ring"), repeat next command and reflow paragraph.
HTML preview
Check HTML, XML and CSS files side-by-side or in a browser, using arbitrary files or URLs.
Multilingual Input Method Editor (IME) support
Use your standard keyboard to enter multi-byte characters, such as Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
Code snippets
Store any piece of code for reuse.
Code folding
Work quickly and efficiently with large sections of code.
Multi-document editing
Easily work on multiple documents simultaneously using multiple tab groups, split view, and cross-document search.
Tutorials
Easily master editing features.
Multi-language graphical debugger
The most powerful debugging capabilities for dynamic languages, anywhere.
JavaScript debugging
Debug JavaScript using Firefox and a JavaScript DBGP extension. With the extension enabled, loading JavaScript or triggering JavaScript controls in the browser opens a debugging session in Komodo, which loads the relevant JavaScript code. The JavaScript interactive shell is available from within the debugging session.
Ruby and Ruby on Rails debugging
Komodo is the first IDE to provide professional debugging tools for Ruby and Rails application development. The Ruby interactive shell is available separately or from within debugging sessions. Komodo is the IDE for Ruby and Ruby on Rails!
PHP debugging (zero configuration)
Automatic configuration for PHP debugging. Build PHP on any platform and debug with Komodo, even if Komodo is running on a different platform.
Perl debugging
Built-in support for Perl debugging, plus a Perl interactive shell, available separately or from within debugging sessions.
Python debugging
Multi-threaded and post-mortem debugging, plus a Python interactive shell, available separately or from within debugging sessions.
Tcl debugging
Built-in support for Tcl debugging, with spawnpoints, plus a Tcl interactive shell, available separately or from within debugging sessions.
XSLT debugging
Built-in support for XSLT debugging, including the ability to find problems in both input data and code with HTML preview.
Standard debugging features
Breakpoints, stepping, watched variables, call stack and more.
Remote debugging
Debug Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Tcl programs running on remote machines, with remote debugging extensions for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
Interactive shells
Experiment with code in real-time. Switch to interactive mode while debugging, and return. Supports JavaScript, Perl, Python, Ruby and Tcl.
Multi-session debugging
Debug multiple applications—even with different languages—simultaneously.
Breakpoint manager
Manipulate breakpoint capabilities and store across debugging sessions.
Debug toolbar
Break into debugging: stop debugging an application at the current execution point; continue debugging from that point.
Detach from debugging: stop debugging while application continues to run.
Debugger proxy
Simplify remote and multi-user system debugging with a standard mechanism for Komodo and the remote communication process.
CGI emulation
Full environment control while debugging web applications on your local machine.
DBGP debugger protocol
Add debugging support for any language you want.
Tutorials
Easily master debugging features.
DOM Viewer
Easily navigate XML, XSLT and HTML in a tree view of the document's DOM structure
Inspect browser-server communications
Examine browser-server communications requests and responses as they happen. A local proxy intercepts HTTP traffic, allowing you to view and edit individual transactions.
Intercept and tweak browser-server traffic
Break on requests or responses and review, edit and submit modified traffic.
Revision history
Diff two selected revisions or select one for comparison with the local copy.
Integration with CVS, Perforce and Subversion
Add, remove, submit, revert and compare files in SCC repositories.
Code browser
Easily navigate source structure in a tree view of code objects. Browse, locate and jump to modules, namespaces, classes, functions and variables.
JavaScript
Interactive shell for manipulating JavaScript code, available within JavaScript debugging sessions.
Perl, Python, Ruby and Tcl
Explore, prototype and test your code. Enter statements, expressions and code fragments, independent of program files. Can be used standalone or as a shell that interacts from within a debugging session.
Project manager
Convenient, flexible organisation of all project elements.
Live Folders
Project view displays the current contents of corresponding file system directory.
Virtual Folders
Explicitly maintained multi-purpose containers for any project or Toolbox component, containing pointers to selected components from different file system locations.
Store it
Store virtually anything, including configurable "Run" commands, macros, code snippets, URLs, Live and Virtual Folders, templates, menus, toolbars and remote files.
Share it
Share a Toolbox with networked team members or distribute valuable Toolbox items to other Komodo users with the import/export function.
Visual interface
Create powerful regular expressions painlessly with node tips, node highlighting and shortcut menus.
Regular expression debugger
Easily evaluate and correct matched patterns. "Match mode" buttons provide Match, Match All, Split, Replace and Replace All.
Regular expressions primer
Tutorial for those new to regular expressions.
Personalise and extend
Add custom menus and toolbars for easy access to run commands and snippets or create integrations with third party tools. Associate keybindings and icons with any item.
Save time and effort
- Automate regular tasks with editable macros recordings.
- Quickly access record/playback features through the Toolbar.
- Run macros manually, via a keybinding, or based on a variety of Komodo event triggers.
Automate even more
Power users can tap into Komodo's deeper features.
Run Commands
Sophisticated automation of any command line function
Configurable Run Commands, stored in your Toolbox, to automate almost any task. Also able to pass content in either direction between a document in the editor pane and the command line.
Share important data between multiple users
Share templates, common group-level "Shared Toolbox", "site-wide" common configuration file, and "site-wide" Tcl configuration files.
XPI Extensions
Create your own plug-ins. XPI extension support provides the same capability as Firefox, with all standard Mozilla APIs based on XUL, XBL, and XPCOM, plus our own for Python and JavaScript. We're even using this in Komodo development; for example, when adding UDL-based languages and defining custom language syntax-coloring. Other new features, such as the DOM Viewer, are also extensions. If you've written an extension for Firefox, you'll be comfortable writing one for Komodo.
Find in Files
Efficiently search directories to locate files containing particular patterns. Located files can be easily loaded into Komodo editor directly from Find Results pane.
Open/Find Toolbar
New way to open files and search for strings in currently open files.
