Azure Cloud Shell includes an integrated file editor built from the open-source Monaco Editor. The Cloud Shell editor supports features such as language highlighting, the command palette, and a file explorer.
For simple file creation and editing, launch the editor by running code . in the Cloud Shell terminal. This action opens the editor with your active working directory set in the terminal.
To directly open a file for quick editing, run code <filename> to open the editor without the file explorer.
To open the editor via UI button, click the {} editor icon from the toolbar. This will open the editor and default the file explorer to the /home/<user> directory.
To close the editor, open the ... action panel in the top right of the editor and select Close editor.
To launch the command palette, use the F1 key when focus is set on the editor. Opening the command palette can also be done through the action panel.
Language highlight support in the Cloud Shell editor is supported through upstream functionality in the Monaco Editor's use of Monarch syntax definitions. To learn how to make contributions, read the Monaco contributor guide.
