Scripted : Javascript Editor from vmware

What is Scripted?

Scripted is a fast and lightweight code editor with an initial focus on JavaScript editing. Scripted is a browser based editor and the editor itself is served from a locally running Node.js server instance.

What are the key features?

• Fast startup, lightweight.
• Syntax highlighting for JavaScript, HTML and CSS.
• Errors and warnings:
  • JSLint is integrated to provide error/warning markers on JavaScript code.
  • AMD and CommonJS module resolution: there is basic resolution where unresolved references will be marked as errors.
• Content assist:
  • Basic content assist for HTML, CSS
  • For JavaScript, content assist is driven by a type inferencing engine which is aware of AMD/CommonJS module dependencies and also uses JSDoc comments to help it understand the code.
• Hovers: hovering over a JavaScript identifier will bring up the inferred type signature.
• Navigation:
  • press F8 on an identifier (that the inferencer has recognized) and the editor will navigate to the declaration.
  • this also works on module identifiers (e.g. in define() clauses)
• Formatting: JSbeautify is integrated
• Sidepanel: alongside the main editor a sidepanel can be opened - currently this can be used to host a second editor.
• Key binding to external command: Key bindings in the editor can invoke external commands (less, mvn, etc)

The editor is actually the Eclipse Orion editor with a few additional bells and whistles. Anyone familiar with editing in Eclipse will immediately know many of the key bindings the Scripted editor supports.
Many of these are covered in this introductory screencast:
