Editing a file in cPanel File Manager Issue

Does Ctrl+V work to post? If not, how about Shift+Insert?

 

What happened to the plaint text editor? It was much better than the Ace. Is there still a way to edit in plain text?

 

Thank you for your reply. I liked the old text editor better for two reasons.

1. You didn't have to change from html to text every time you opened a file. I like the plain black and white editor.

2. The new editor doesn't have word wrap. If you want to edit something that is too wide to fit on your screen you have to scroll way to the right to edit it and then scroll all the way back to the left to move down the page and edit the next thing.

The old text editor was simpler and easier.

 

If you click on the "Keyboard shortcuts" link in the top left of the editor - it will take you to a page with all the hidden functions of the editor, amongst which you will find the Ctrl + , (that's the Ctrl key and the comma key pressed together) which will display a pullout on the right side of the editor with all the configuration settings.

If you check the "Use Wrap Mode" your code will wrap at whatever column you have in the "Wrap Limit"

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be a persistent setting across editing sessions, but maybe some kind soul will give us a better default settings in the future

 

Thank you for you reply rpvw.

I tried the wrap mode setting unfortunately it is not a persistent across all sessions. If the settings were persistent for the session and that kind soul would give us the option for fonts like Verdana or Arial (like this page) then everyone could revel in the simplicity of the old text editor. (the default fonts are pretty hard on the eye)
