Here is a picture of how it looks like:
http://dev.brackets.io/preso/intro/assets/features/brackets-quick-edit-js.PNG I don't know if they have trademark for "quick edit" :-), but since they actually develop Brackets as open source, I hope they keep their terms open source as well. I also hope they didn't patented :). As Stephan wrote, it could be seen as analogy to a link, but instead of visiting a link the text is pulled into the current buffer under the cursor. I used "intellisense" analogy because I was thinking of context awareness indeed, not of the looks. But link analaogy is indeed better. I think difference of editing in new window, versus pulling piece of buffer into same window, makeing seemles illusion of editing same file, is workflow enhacement. If I may take freedom to allude on another such workflow enhacement, I would compare it to difference between Vi and Emacs, and "direct text" editing as in Emacs compared to "command mode" editing as in Vi. I think it is such kind of a difference. > Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2014 00:00:56 -0400 > From: address@hidden > To: address@hidden > CC: address@hidden > Subject: Re: "Adobe Brackets like" editing in emacs > > [[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider ]]] > [[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies, ]]] > [[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]] > > A quick peek+edit in a #include in C, or "use My::Module" in Perl (where > you can say `perldoc -l My::Module' to find the module file), etc. would > be handy. > > We already have such features, but they display the other file in > another buffer.
