The following outstanding capabilities are offered by the new StormC5ED:

Amiga look-and-feel:
All keyboard shortcuts correspond to the AmigaOS specifications, toolbar images are supported, tooltips, etc.

AppWindow/AppIcon support:
Dragging a file icon in an editor window or on the editor appicon will open that file.

Extreme fast syntax highlighing:
Lightning fast syntax highlighting, Recognized words can be highlighted with colour and/or font attributes.

File classes:
The driver for the syntax highlightning are applied as external modules. As a result, the editor is extensible for future tasks.

File classes do currently exist for the following languages:

  • C/C++ (minimum requirement SDK 53.20),
  • Catalog-Descriptions (for use with CatComp),
  • AmigaGuide(R),
  • ARexx

Definitionbar:

Bookmarks:
In a document an umlimited number of bookmarks can be set and jumped to with a keyboard shortcut.

Folding parts of a document via definable fold marks:
For example, so in C/C++ files, the method bodies are folded away for clarity and better readability of the code.

MDI- or TDI-Userinterface:
Texts can be displayed either in a separate window for each text (MDI - multiple document interface) or all together in a single window with Tab control (TDI - Tabbed Document Interface).

Automatic indentation (atm. only for C/C++):
On typing of a character that initiates or terminates a block, the editor can react with different variations to increase or reduce the indentation ("keep your source code clean and tidy").

Visualization of tabulators, spaces and linefeeds:
Optional displaying of these characters to find missing tabs in a "makefile", for example.

The GUI of the editor is available in 7 languages:
In the basic package, the StormC5Ed interface has already been translated into 7 languages: German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Danish and Russian are currently available. Other languages will follow.
