LightEdit mode

Last modified: 14 November 2024

When you need to edit one file without creating or loading the whole project in WebStorm, you can use the LightEdit mode.

Keep in mind that the LightEdit mode works as a text-like editor, and it does not support the usual IDE editor features such as code completion, or code navigation. However, you can navigate to a specific line of code (Ctrl0G), fold or unfold parts of code, check, change file encoding, and reformat your code.
