Other Editing Support Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**Sunflower** inherits many other useful editing features which come automatically with Eclipse. These include:

-  Multiple Open Files in the **Text Editor** - Files are opened in tabs. A file becomes active when its tab is clicked.

-  Display line numbers in the **Text Editor** - This option is configurable via **Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors > Show line numbers**, or simply right-click the left margin in the **Text Editor** and select **Show Line Numbers**.

-  Rearrangeable Tabs - Tabs can be rearranged or opened up in different windows. See Section :ref:`section-Rearranging Tabs` for examples.

-  File Navigation - A file navigator tree is available for file navigation and management.

-  Auto-completion in the **Text Editor** - For examples, a matching parenthesis is automatically added after an open parenthesis is typed, and the input cursor is automatically placed between two parentheses for further user input.

-  File Comparison - Select 2 files in the file navigation tree, right click and choose **Compare With > Each Other**. The 2 files will appear side by side in the **Text Editor**, with the ability to duplicate lines from one file to the other.

-  General Search - Highlight a term or a phrase in the active file, then from the main navigation menu, select **Search**. All occurrences of the selected term or phrase are returned in the **Search** tab. See :ref:`section-Eclipse Search` for more details.

-  Key Binding in the **Text Editor** - Configurable **Text Editor** key bindings are available via **Preferences > General > Keys**.
