Visual Basic Mode

Epsilon automatically enters Visual Basic mode when you read a file with an extension of .vb, .bas, .frm, .vbs, .cls, .aspx, .ctl, or .dsr. In Visual Basic mode, Epsilon does appropriate syntax highlighting, smart indenting, tagging, and comment filling.

When the cursor is on a brace, bracket, or parenthesis, Epsilon will try to locate its matching brace, bracket, or parenthesis, and highlight them both. If the current character has no match, Epsilon will not highlight it. Set the variable auto-show-vbasic-delimiters to zero to disable this feature.

Set the vbasic-indent variable to alter the level of indentation Epsilon uses. Set the vbasic-indent-with-tabs variable nonzero if you want Epsilon to indent using a mix of tab characters and spaces, instead of just spaces.

Press Alt-' to display a list of all subroutines defined in the current file. You can move to a definition in the list and press <Enter> and Epsilon will go to that definition, or press Ctrl-G to remain at the starting point.

Standard bindings:
