cPanel Monaco Editor Autor: Moniruzzaman Saikat

Bring the power of VS Code to your cPanel File Manager.

cPanel Monaco Editor replaces cPanel's default code editor with Monaco, the powerful editor behind Visual Studio Code. Edit your website files directly inside cPanel with a modern development experience, without switching to a separate IDE.

Key Features

• Built-in file explorer: Browse directories, manage files and folders, and work across multiple tabs.
• PHP development tools: PHP autocomplete, documentation on hover, project-aware suggestions, error detection, and go-to-definition support.
• Laravel and WordPress support: Helpful completions for Laravel, Blade templates, WordPress functions, and hooks.
• Find and replace: Search across project files with regular expressions and replacement previews.
• Code formatting: Format PHP code using Prettier.
• Split editor: Work with two files side by side.
• Customizable workspace: Choose from 16 editor themes and configure fonts, indentation, word wrap, Auto Save, and other preferences.
• Local file history: Recover previous edits, compare changes, and restore saved versions.
• File management: Create, rename, upload, download, move, compress, extract, and delete files from the editor.
• Smart previews: Preview Markdown, SVG, and supported image files.
• Unsaved work protection: Restore drafts after unexpected reloads or session interruptions.
