rConfig - Config Editor
We have introduced a code editor to rConfig V6. The Monaco Editor is the code editor that powers VS Code. It is a great tool for editing code and is a great choice for developers. We have implemented various features with the editor to make the experience of Configuration management and policy management easier. Within the editor, the same keystrokes as VSCode work, such as Ctrl+D selects the word at the cursor, or the next occurrence of the current selection. Get familiar with the basics of the editor by reviewing the information here. This is not a full VSCode experience, but it is a good starting point.
All variations of the editor have the following functions:
- Darkmode: Enables/ disables dark mode.
- Line Numbers: Enables/ disables line numbers.
- Minimap: Enables/ disables minimap.

We have also added some key features to the editor. At the top of the editor, you will see a toolbar with the following buttons:
