	== Introduction ==

	Workspaces (notepads) are simple text-editor windows. These can be used to prepare or inspect test-data, texts and similar. They also provide a calculator and scripting-language capability: you can type in an expression (expressed as Smalltalk or JavaScript code fragment) and evaluate it. Finally, they can be used as "PostIt-Note", to remember fragments of text or code.
	Workspaces are very useful to compute test-vectors, hex- or binary numbers or to generate string data, which can be copy-pasted into a freeze-value, an attachment or (using the [[Tools FileBrowser/en\|file browser]]) into a file.

	The following screenshot displays a script-codefragment being evaluated:

	== Multiple Tabs ==
	Workspaces support multiple tabs. Click on the "''Add Page''" button or menu function, to get another tab.

	== Timer Functions ==
	There are also a Stopwatch and an AlarmTimer found in the Tab-Page menu.
	Use them for simple measuring tasks, or to get a timed feedback (for example, to get reminded of something to do or check during a long running test-task). The Alarm-Timer can be configured to ring after a time-period or at a final alarm time.

	== Snippet Management ==
	All text editors inside expecco share a common snippet database. Snippets are little text fragments which can be quickly pasted into any text editor by pressing some abbreviation followed by <kbd>ALT-SPACE</kbd>.
	For example, a programmer who often needs the string "self" to be typed in, might want to attach the word "self " to the snipplet-abreviation "s" and get the full string via <kbd>s</kbd>-<kbd>ALT-SPACE</kbd>.
	A number of predefined snippets (mostly for programmers) can be found and managed in the snippet manager.
	You may want to customize them according to your domain's requirements.

	== Collecting Text from Various Places ==
	A very common task is to collect text-fragments via copy-paste from various places (such as different input fields of another application) and place them as a single line collection into a freeze-value, attachment or other string-field.
	The "''Autofetch Selection''" feature found in the "''Edit''" menu does exactly that for you: it monitors the clipboard, and appends every copied string (from any other application) into the workspace's text area.

	== Sorting ==
	Under the editor's right-button-menu, you will find various items under "''More''" → "''Tools''" → "''Sort''".
	These operate on the currently selected line-range.
	For example, to sort a number of lines, select them, and apply the "Sort Lines" function.

	== Generating Unique IDs ==
	The right-button-menu also provides a function to generate globally unique IDs (GUIDs or UUIDs).
	Try "''More''" → "''More''" → "''Insert new UUID''"

	== Code Evaluation ==
	Workspaces include code interpreters for JavaScript and Smalltalk Code. To evaluate a piece of code, select it, and apply the "''doIt''" (<kbd>CTRL-d</kbd>) menu function. Use "''printIt''" (<kbd>CTRL-p</kbd>) to paste the result.
	For example, to compute the square-root of the number 2,
	type:
	2.sqrt()
	apply "''printIt''" (<kbd>CTRL-p</kbd>), to get the result pasted at the current text-cursor position.

	The syntax of the interpreter can be changed via the main-menu, or via the right-click-menu in the lower-right syntax indicator field.

	== More Features ==
	The Notepad editor as described here is a somewhat stripped-down version of the full Smalltalk-Workspace application. You can find even more features (text-filters, variables etc.) in this application, which can be opened programmatically via:
	WorkspaceApplication open
	or (in JavaScript):
	WorkspaceApplication.open()
	or by changing the default notepad in the "''Settings''" → "''Internal Tools''" dialog to "Smalltalk".
