" -",
" Title: Creating Files",
" Summary: >",
" You can quickly create a new, blank file, or you can select a template to base the new file on. Creating a file",
" from a template creates the required file format for the language you are coding in. ",
" ",
" Task: >",
" 1. Create a new file:",
" - Create a new, blank file: <i class=\"icon icon-file-plus2\"></i>&nbsp;**[New File button][callout:newFileButton]**,",

" <% if (require(\"sdk/system\").platform != \"darwin\") { %>",
" <i class=\"icon icon-bars\"></i>&nbsp;**[Menu button][callout:menuButton]**, then the ",

" access your files using your keyboard.",
" ",
" ![element:#notification-widget]",
" ",
" The **[Go to Anything][callout:gotoAnything]** tool ",
" lets you navigate Komodo with your keyboard and quite literally \"go to anything\".",
" ",
" When you search using this tool Komodo searches all its available",
" \"scopes\". A scope defines what type of result you are searching for.",
" When you open the **[Go to Anything][callout:gotoAnything]** tool you",
" can either select a specific scope to search in, or just start typing",
" to search in all scopes.",
" ",

" 4. Press Enter to open the file.",
" Tips:",
" - Go to Anything (Commando) is easy to get started with, but it is a powerful tool with lots of advanced features.",
" - Try pressing the **right arrow key** when you have a file selected.",
" - You can search for files using partial non-sequential matches. For example `bar.txt foo` would match `/path/too/foo/bar.txt`.",
" Validate: validateFileOpen",
" -",
" Title: File Preferences",
" Summary: >",
" Komodo has three levels of preferences: Global, Project, and File.",
" File preferences override Project and Global preferences, and Project",
" preferences override Global preferences.",
" ",
" Sometimes you may want to customize preferences for a specific file",
" so that it has a different configuration than either the Global or",
" Project preferences. In these cases, you can customize the File preferences.",
" ",
" Task: >",
" 1. Open the preferences of for an open file by right clicking the",
" tab for the file and then selecting **File Preferences**.",
" 2. Explore the preferences that you can customize.",
" 3. Click OK when you are done.",
" Tips:",
" - Komodo supports .EditorConfig files, which you can use to customize your preferences without using the Preferences user interface, or to share your preferences with other Komodo users.",
" -",
" Title: Your Toolbox",
" Summary: >",
" Before you complete this tutorial and start using Komodo, you should be aware of ",
" the <i class=\"icon icon-briefcase\"></i>&nbsp;**[Komodo Toolbox][callback:focusToolbox]**. It is",
" located in the right side panel by default.",
" The Komodo Toolbox holds a large selection of custom tools that you can use",
" to support your workflow. Komodo is all about facilitating you to",
" use your workflow, rather than forcing you into its own workflow.",
" ",
" By default your toolbox includes sample tools, which",
" you can use to familiarize yourself with the capabilities feature. All of these tools can be modified",
" or deleted without affecting the core stability of Komodo (with the",
" notable exception of **Userscript**, which you can use to change Komodo's",
" logic or add new logic).",
" ",
" You can use the toolbox to create new toolbar buttons or menu items. ",
" Select the **New Custom Toolbar** menu item under the <i class=\"icon icon-cog\"></i>&nbsp;**Cog button** to access this functionality.",
" ",
" Task: >",
" Explore the <i class=\"icon icon-briefcase\"></i>&nbsp;**[Komodo Toolbox][callback:focusToolbox]**.",
" Tips:",
" - The Komodo toolbox is extremely versatile and this tutorial does not cover all of the features. See the Komodo documentation for more information.",
" - You can share tools you create in the packages section on <a href=\"javascript:topWindow.ko.browse.openUrlInDefaultBrowser('http://komodoide.com/packages')\">the Komodo website</a>",
" Success: >",
" # Have fun!",
" ",
" That's all folks! Hopefully this tutorial taught you the basic knowledge you",
" need to get started with Komodo. Above all, Komodo prides itself in",
" providing a user experience that is easy to understand. If you",
" would still like to find out more, here are some more resources for",
