Remote editor¶

Double-clicking a file in the file browser opens it in Monaco, the editor used by VS Code. Reads and writes go over the live SSH transport of that session.

Editing a remote file with Monaco — A remote file edited in place, without a sync folder or an scp round-trip.

Features¶

Monaco's complete built-in syntax catalog, plus full language services for JavaScript/TypeScript, JSON, HTML and CSS: diagnostics, completion, hover and formatting.
Folding, the minimap, sticky scroll, multi-cursor editing, find & replace, and Monaco's command palette (F1).
Per-file undo history and view state, so switching between open files restores the previous position.
Language mode, indentation and end-of-line sequence are switchable from the status bar.
Save (Ctrl+S) and Save all. Unsaved files are marked in the file list.

Several files stay open at once inside the tab, alongside the terminal.

Conflict protection¶

Saving carries the modification time the file had when it was read. If the file changed on the remote in the meantime, the save is refused and the editor offers Reload from remote.

Scope¶

The editor targets single-file edits: a config change, a compose file, a systemd unit. For project-level work requiring a language server, a test runner or git history, use an editor's own remote support. Muxus provides a file editor, not a remote IDE.
