Monaco editor & autosave

Orca's code editor is Monaco — the same editor VS Code uses — with a few Orca-specific tweaks.

Autosave

Files save on blur and after short idle periods. There is no "dirty" dot because there are no unsaved changes in normal flow.

Multi-cursor, go-to, find

  • Cmd-D — select next occurrence.
  • Cmd-F / Cmd-Shift-F — file find / worktree find.
  • Cmd-Click — go to definition (where supported by language extensions).

Changes view mode

Toggle Changes view mode in any editor tab to flip the file into an in-tab HEAD-vs-working-tree diff without leaving your cursor position. Same shortcuts as the Diff viewern/p to walk hunks, s to stage. Toggle again to return to the regular file view.

Minimap

A minimap is available in the file editor under Settings → Appearance. It's off by default; turn it on if you prefer the VS Code-style overview rail.

Custom editor font

Pick any installed font for the editor under Settings → Appearance → Editor font. Independent of the UI font.

Language support

Syntax highlighting ships for the languages Monaco supports out of the box. Orca is intentionally editor-first, not IDE-first — run type-checkers and linters in a terminal pane.
