Explore the workspace

The native IDE is designed around familiar desktop panels instead of requiring you to learn many shortcuts immediately.

Area	What it does
Solution Explorer	Find files and projects. On Linux, selected-file actions include create, rename and delete with safety checks.
Editor tabs	Show the files you have opened.
Properties	Inspect the selected interface element in UI Design mode.
Output	Read build and tool messages, including errors and exit codes.
Terminal	Run commands in a real operating-system shell.
Problems	Jump to recognised file and line errors from Hydrogen output.

Resizing works with draggable pane separators. Full floating/docking layouts are still being completed.

Find something quickly

Use the File, Edit, View and Build menus first. Quark also has an editor and project search interface. Editor assistance includes lexical highlighting and local suggestions, but not a full Hydrogen language server.

Quark saves document recovery snapshots. This helps with unexpected exits but is not a substitute for backups or Git.
