Komodo Edit

What's new in this version:

New User Interface:
- The entire user interface has been given a big facelift. This facelift isn’t just about making Komodo more attractive and enjoyable to use; a ton of user experience work has gone into the facelift. On the technical end, these changes make Komodo far more maintainable and far less prone to interface related bugs. Possibly the biggest feature, though, is that you can define your own colors. Every color scheme now also extends to the user interface, so you can tweak and style not just how your code looks, but also how Komodo looks. Or not–it’s entirely up to you, of course.
- For those who prefer not to have their user interface change too much we’ve also introduced some preferences which let you essentially use the “classic” approach to UI in many places.
- These changes do mean that skins and iconsets for Komodo 8 and 9 will no longer work.

The Dynamic Toolbar:
- The dynamic toolbar is a new UI element in Komodo 10 which holds toolbar buttons that provide contextual actions to your files and project. They show and hide based on what you’re doing and provide information and actions based on how your files and projects are configured. For example the version control dynamic button will show you how many files have changed and allow you to quickly open eg. file or project history, or the commit dialog.
- The dynamic toolbar is very developer friendly, so you can easily create your own buttons or download ones that were contributed by other developers.

First Start Wizard:
- When you first start Komodo (or when you update between major versions) Komodo will now show you a short and simple first start wizard that lets you customize Komodo to your likings. Tabs or spaces? The bias is all yours.

New Default Keybindings:
- Our old defaults (which are still available as “Legacy” keybindings) were an accumulation of 10+ years of changes. Needless to say they became messy and illogical. With Komodo 10 we dumped them entirely and started from scratch. A rule of thumb here was that if something didn’t make sense then it didn’t deserve a default binding, the user can define these themselves. We also reviewed other editors complete default keybinding sets to find commonalities in the industry. The new bindings are based on logic and sensible defaults that programmers have become accustomed to.

Other Editor Keybindings:
- We are introducing keybindings for other editors and IDE’s to facilitate developers transitioning to Komodo. These can be accessed from your Keybinding preferences or via the First Start wizard.
- Improved Node.js and PHP CodeIntel:
- JavaScript and PHP CodeIntel has had significant improvements, NodeJS modules and PSR4 classes are fully supported as well as various new features of each language.
- Support For React, Ember, Angular, TypeScript, ES6:
- We’ve put a lot of focus on individual frameworks in Komodo 10, a trend you can expect to continue. With this iteration we focused on some of the most popular JS frameworks and derivatives.

Performance Improvements:
- Komodo 10 has received significant performance improvements. File opening, closing, saving, typing, .. you name it. Additionally we’ve fixed a long standing memory leak which caused users to have to restart Komodo every few days, that should no longer be the case.

Other Mentionables:
- Improved color picker UI and UX
- New color scheme editor
- New UI SDK (used in our new First Start Wizard)
- and much much more
