    Editing just Java in Edge Code?

      Hello, I've been wondering if I should download Edge Code as a code editor for a while now, and I was wondering if the program is also capable of editing with the Jave language, NOT just JavaScript? I know any text editor can be used to create a Java program - what I'm wondering is if it will support the same same shortcuts and keystrokes as it will for the other languages it already supports. Thanks!

          Most commands will work exactly the same, including everything you see in the Edit menu or the Find menu.  But commands with very language-specific behavior won't be supported, such as Quick Edit, Jump to Definition, and Quick Find Definition (Ctrl-T).  Edge Code also doesn't include any functionality for compiling your Java code into an executable program, or spotting syntax errors in your code -- you'll have to use command-line tools for that.  If you want a very rich Java editing experience, I'd suggest looking into a larger Java-specific IDE such as IntelliJ IDEA.
