Downloads

Download the two vsix files and install them in your VS Code via Install from VSIX in the view title menu of your Extensions view.

Open a workspace or a folder that contains the files you want to work on.

Open a supported file such as a '.strl', '.lus', 'elkt', 'kgt', or 'sctx' file in your workspace. As a next step should open the diagram view via Open in Diagram the editor context menu (i.e. right click on the editor) or the editor title menu (file with cogs icon on the top right of your active editor with a supported file type)

A: Menu bar: Holds the main menu.

B: Left bar: The left bar usally holds the explorer widget and the search widget (only seen as an icon).

C: Left part of Main bar, the editor widget: In the left part of the main bar resides the editor widget. In the top right of the editor widget, in the so called tab bar are some editor specific commands accessible. It is possible to compile or simulate the currently opened model via these buttons. These buttons will not directly invoke the compilation but redirect the user to the command palette.

D: Right part of main bar, the diagram widget: Shows the current model as diagram. Can also be used to show snapshots of a model to model transformation. During simulation the current state is highlighted in red and the last state and taken transition are highlighted in light blue. In the current diagram all "A" states are currently active. In the top right of the diagam widget is the tab bar of this widget. It includes commands to:

• Center the diagram
• Fit the diagram to the widget size
• Compile the shown mode
• Simulate the shown model

E: The right bar: The right bar currently holds the browser preview widget. It can be used to display a visualization of a simulated model. This view can also be opened in another browser tab. The right bar does usually also hold the outline widget, the output widget, and the diagram option widget.

F: The bottom bar: Holds the simulation widget and the compiler widget (in the background). The simulation widget shows the values of a simulated model in form of a table and allows the user to set inputs. Playing, pausing, stepping, and stopping a simulation is supported. On the top right of the simulation widget is the tab bar of this widget. It includes buttons to open the simulation visualization which is currently seen in the right bar.

G: Status bar: Shows the status of tool including:

• errors and warnings in workspace
• Status of compilation and simulation
• Current line number and column
• The end of line sequence (LF)
• Current indentation style (here Tab Size 2)
• Current diagram synthesis (SCChartsSynthesis), which can be changed via clicking it
• The language in the active editor (here SCCharts)

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, 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.
