Edit in source and visual modes

Uses

Section titled “Uses”

Prerequisites

Section titled “Prerequisites”
  • Open a mode-compatible file (for example .md or .myst).
  • Ensure you can edit the file in the current project.

Steps

Section titled “Steps”
  1. Open the target file in the editor.
  2. In the status bar, find the Editor Mode toggle and switch between Code and Visual.
  3. Edit in Code when you want direct source text changes.
  4. Switch to Visual when you want structure-first editing.
  5. Save, close the file, and reopen it.
  6. Confirm Titan restores the last explicit mode for that project+file path.
  7. Note scope: mode memory is local browser storage and does not sync through collaboration.

Verification

Section titled “Verification”
  • The status-bar toggle updates immediately when you switch modes.
  • The editing surface changes between source and visual editors.
  • Reopening the same file restores the previous mode on this device.

If Something Goes Wrong

Section titled “If Something Goes Wrong”
  • Mode toggle is missing
  • Check the file format against Editing modes; some formats do not support code/visual switching.
  • Mode keeps reverting
  • Confirm you reopened the same workspace and file path; mode memory is keyed per project and file.
  • Board files do not switch to code
  • Expected for dedicated board formats; see constraints in Editing modes.
