Editing Source Text

You can use the File > Edit Source command to edit source files while you are debugging. TotalView starts your editor on the source file being displayed in the Source Pane of the Process Window.

TotalView uses an editor launch string to determine how to start your editor. TotalView expands this string into a command that is then executed by the sh shell.

The fields within File > Preferences's Launch Strings page let you change the editor and the way TotalView launches the editor. The Help for this page contains information on how you set this preference.

You can also change the editor launch string by using a TotalView preference. You can find information on this in the online help.
