| <h1>Remote C/C++ Editor</h1> |
| <p>The <b>Remote C/C++ editor</b> provides specialized features for editing C/C++ related files.</p> |
| <p><img src="../../images/remote_c_editor.png" alt="Remote C/C++ Editor"></p> |
| <p>Local files being opened by the Remote C/C++ Editor is a known problem. A temporary workaround is |
| to specify using the CDT editor for local files. Select the file in the Project Explorer, select Open With -> C/C++ Editor.</p> |
| |
| <p><img src="../../images/workaround.png" alt="Opening a local file in the CDT editor"></p> |
| <p>Notice the icons of the local and remote editors are different: </p> |

| <p>Associated with the editor is a C/C++-specific <a href="outline_view.html">Outline view</a>, |
| which shows the structure of the active C, C++ or makefile. It is updated as you edit these files.</p> |
| |
| <p>The editor includes the following features:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Syntax highlighting</li> |
| <li>Content/code assist</li> |
| <li>Integrated debugging features</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>The most common way to invoke the C/C++ editor is to open a file from |
| the Project Explorer view using pop-up menus or by clicking the file |
| (single or double-click depending on the user preferences).</p> |
| |
| <p>The C/C++ editor does not contain a toolbar itself, but relies on the use of the main |
| toolbar, edit menu, search menu and key binding actions.</p> |
