Notes on the Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE
- The original jEdit look-and-feel is generally preserved, although
some default properties have been changed to accommodate Isabelle
(e.g. main the text area font).
- Formal Isabelle/Isar text is checked asynchronously while editing.
The user is in full command of the editor, and the prover refrains
from locking portions of the buffer etc.
- Prover feedback works via tooltips, syntax highlighting, colors,
boxes etc. based on semantic markup provided by Isabelle in the
background.
- Using the mouse together with the modifier key C
(CONTROL on Linux or Windows,
COMMAND on Mac OS) exposes additional information.
- Dockable panels (e.g. Output) are managed as independent
windows by jEdit, which also allows multiple instances.
