You can open the outline window by selecting the button on the right, or selecting the Outline view from the View menu. The Outline window can list the function names in your source code.

The smart editor for xrt.ini files and v++ config files can switch views between GUI rendering and Text Editor view with the table button and code button . The GUI rendering will only display the options that it can recognize for the context. For advanced use cases, user needs to edit the configuration file manually. The modifications in one view will update the other view instantly.

The changes will be saved automatically when Auto Save is enabled, or you can manually save changes in a file with keyboard shortcut Ctrl + S.
