✨ Save yourself a bit of time with 'click to source'

During development, you can quickly access the source code of any element on a webpage by holding Option (⌥) or Alt key, click on whatever you're curious about, and Qwik will immediately open your source code right on top of that element. Seriously, any component, link, header - you name it, you can peek at its code.

Qwik tries to guess what code editor you like to use. If it guesses wrong, no biggie! Just give Qwik a hint by setting the LAUNCH_EDITOR environment variable. For example, if you're on a Mac and use VS Code, you'd type export LAUNCH_EDITOR=code in your terminal.

Under the hood launch-editor library is used, here are the supported editors
