Using SoftBench Editors
Configuring an Editor
Chapter 4 119
Configuring an Editor
Select your editor by choosing "Options:
Tool Preferences…." Once your editor preference is set, actions which
invoke an editor use the configured SoftBench editor. Refer to SoftBench
Online Help for detailed information on each editor.
SoftBench XEmacs is the default editor. If you are a new SoftBench
XEmacs user, SoftBench automatically sets up a default XEmacs
configuration for you. If you are already using GNU XEmacs and you
want to maintain your user options, SoftBench automatically loads the
preferences specified in your $HOME/.xemacs file. You may discover some
preference differences you want to change by editing the
$HOME/.softxemacs-options file.
Configuring SoftBench vi Editor
To change your default editor to SoftBench vi:
1. From the SoftBench main window, choose "Options: Tool
Preferences…."
2. From the "Tool Preferences" dialog, choose "Editor". The available
editors are displayed.
3. Select "Softvi" from the scrollbar list, then select OK.
Configuring SoftBench Program Editor
SoftBench Program Editor is only available for backward compatibility
and will not be available in future releases. It has not been enhanced to
work with the SoftBench project model. Files that you save are not
automatically added to your project. SoftBench Program Editor is not
preconfigured and requires special steps to activate it:
1. With root permissions, edit the file
/opt/softbench/config/toolbar/prefsConfig.
2. Search the file for the line containing:
${SOFTBENCH:-/opt/softbench}/contrib/bin/softeditsrv -scope net
3. Remove the "#" symbol from the front of the line.
