Is there a special editor for WordPress code?

    I wanted to know: is there a special editor for WordPress code?

    I’m educating myself to write a plugin

    And I’m looking at other plugin code
    This is hard when WP ready made functions are called

    When I see something I don’t readily recognise – I have to come back and check if it’s a WP function ready made

    It would be really good if there was an editor that displayed all predefined functions or constants for WP in a different colour!

    Does anything like this exist anywhere?

    Thanks

    Omar

    Don’t necessarily know of an editor but these might be of interest to you:
    * https://wplookup.com/ – lookup Codex functions and templates
    * https://xref.yoast.com/ – xref lookup of core and other versions
    * https://adambrown.info/p/wp_hooks – hooks/filters
    * https://wp-roadmap.com/demo/ hook reference

    michael, thanks – that is *absolutely* awesome
    i’ve got this post bookmarked and will come back to many times for those links ??

    i’m fairly new to ‘proper’ development
    i just thought there should be some kind of plugin for code editors where WP functions are highlighted – like with editors, if ur coding in php, c, actionscript – their reserved words are highlghted – so i thought ti would be rocket science to get something similar for WP – ok, so its not a language as such – but the need is still there i think!

    There might be something in one of the development environments like zend.com.

    is there a flat text file with ALL WP keywords, variables and functions anywhere?

    i’ll have a go at using with an existing editor

    let me know

    thanks

    Not that I know of but then again it’s a big world.
