Fitbit Studio Tutorial

[Fit2030]

Looking for a basic tutorial or hints for editing with Fitbit Studio.

I figured out <ctrl-f> does a search. Is there an undo option? Search and replace?

[dde33]

Ctrl+Z for undo - the SDK stores the changes from the current session so repeated Ctrl+Z can take you back to starting code at start.  If you exit the session (close the SDK, and see the project list) the current files in the project get saved and Ctrl Z only works on new changes.when you reload the project.

I have not found (or looked for) a S & R -

Ok, I found some general shortcuts that seem to work. But no multiple find and replace option though.

It requires a bit of interpretation, and I certainly haven't tested all of it, but what I have tested seems to work.

Methinks something like this would be good to add to the official documentation.

Thanks for all the info.  There are however, Fitbit Studio specific shortcuts, such as ctrl-b... which builds the project.  I can't imagine there isn't any documentation on this.  What framework is Studio based on?  Perhaps that's where we can find the answers.

[JonFitbit]

You can press ? when not focused in the text editor to see some studio specific shortcuts.

CMD / - code comment/uncomment

CMD B - build

CMD R - run

CMD P  - command palette

On Windows it's CTRL instead of CMD.

[gitanoco]

Ah, ok.  Now we talkin'.  Thanks.

[Gondwana]

I think the text editor is CodeMirror.

[gitanoco]

Ok, cool.  So CodeMirror supports all kinds of rich editing functionality, such as autocomplete, folding, themes.  Doesn't look like much of that is supported in the Fitbit Studio or am I doing it wrong?  

[Lawson77]

I am looking for some very basic Fitbit Studio info

eg -

• In the project list - How can you copy an existing project to make a new project ? (You can rename and delete, but not copy)
• How do you import a project from elsewhere into the project list so you can edit / amend it ?

[Giampi71]

1) You can not (unfortunately). You have to export it and then reimport it (and change name), see point 2

2) Create an empty project. Unizip the zip file containing the source code and drag and drop the content into your empty project file.
