Using the Editor

15.7 EDITOR TROUBLESHOOTING

This section is designed to help you troubleshoot any problems, errors or issues you

encounter while using MPLAB Editor.

15.7.1 Common Problems/FAQ

Some items in the context menu are disabled.

Depending on your selection of debug and/or programmer tools, some items may not

be applicable and so are grayed.

Nothing happens when I press <CTRL> + <M>.

The text cursor must be on an opening/closing symbol when you press <CTRL> + <M>.

When it is, Match will move it to the matching symbol. If there is no match, the cursor

does not move.

Opening/closing symbols are: [ ] { } ( ) < >

When I insert a carriage return, the new line always starts in column 1,

regardless of the current indentation level.

Auto Indent must be checked in the Tab Settings dialog for auto indent to work.

15.7.2 Save Changes to File?

You have changed this file since the last time you saved it to disk. Before MPLAB Editor

closes it, you have a chance to update the disk copy.

Command Result

unnamed.
