8 The Editor
8.1 Displaying and editing files
The text view is the default view in the editor, and is the one which you will become most familiar with. In this view, the text of the current file is displayed, and you can move around it and change its contents as you wish (assuming that you have permission to write to the file). The text view is automatically displayed when you first invoked the editor, and you can choose View > Text to switch back to it from any other view. Figure 8.1 below shows an editor in the text view with a file open.
