Editor interface
The Alpacon Editor provides a VS Code-like editing environment directly in your browser. Once connected, the editor loads as a full-screen interface where you can browse, edit, and manage files on the remote server.
Editor layout
The editor interface includes:
- File explorer: Browse and navigate the server’s file system
- Editor tabs: Open multiple files simultaneously with tab navigation
- Code editor: Full-featured editor with syntax highlighting
- Integrated terminal: Run commands directly within the editor
Clipboard support
The editor supports clipboard operations between your local machine and the remote server:
- Copy: Select text in the editor and copy to your local clipboard
- Paste: Paste content from your local clipboard into the editor
Clipboard access is enabled through browser permissions. If prompted, allow clipboard access for the editor to work properly.
Dark mode
The editor automatically adapts to your system or Alpacon theme preference:
- Light mode: Light background with dark text
- Dark mode: Dark background with light text
The theme switches automatically when you change your Alpacon theme setting.
Full-screen experience
The editor opens in a new browser tab and uses the full window area. This provides maximum screen space for code editing.
