How to use KEITH?

1: Left bar, which holds the workspace. The workspace is a folder opened in the file system.

2: Left part of split main bar. It holds the file that is edited. KEITH provided rich client features for sctx, scl strl, lus, kgt, and elk files.

3: Right part of slit main bar. It holds the diagram  synthesized from the current opened file.

4: Bottom bar. It holds the compiler widget. From left to right to menu bar is used to show private system, enable inplace compilation, enable autocompile on save, select compilation system via dropdown menu, and compile the active model via the selected compilation system. Below the menu all snapshots of an invoked compilation are visible. The snapshots are ordered from left to right. These snapshots are clickable and display the snapshot in the diagram view. Small snapshots indicate that these are results of the processor to the left of it. A teal color indicates that an information is attached to the snapshot. Yellow indicates a warning and red an error.

5: Right bar: holds the diagram-option widget. It is used to configure the diagram displayed in 3.

6: Main menu bar. Holds all menus.

7: Status bar: Shows status of tool including errors and warnings in workspace, current line number and column, current indentation style (here 4 Spaces), and the language in the active editor (here SCCharts). Moreover the blue color indicates that the tool has a stable connection to its language server. Yellow indicates a connection loss.





KEITH has some widgets by default, which are such as the problems-widget, the outline-widget, the output-widget, and the search-widget. All existing widgets are found via the View menu entry or via the command palette.
