⚡ Xecute — Guide

A quick tour of what the IDE can do.

Basics

New File — the + button on the file tabs bar. 40+ languages are supported out of the box.
Import — bring in individual files, a whole project ZIP, or fetch a file straight from a URL.
Auto-Save — your workspace is saved to this browser automatically; adjust interval and retention in Settings.
Run — HTML/CSS/JS render instantly in the live preview. Every other language runs through the Judge0 backend and streams output into an interactive terminal.

Give it a name (required) and an optional short description — these show up when the link is pasted into chat apps or social media.
A preview image is generated automatically in the background using the Xecute logo and your workspace name, so the link looks good wherever it's shared.
Choose Read-only or Editable, and how long the link should stay active.

Xecute detects input(), scanf, cin>>, Scanner, gets, and similar calls automatically and asks for each value one at a time, right in the terminal — like a real local run, not an "all stdin up front" judge.
In C, C++, Java, and Python, when a loop's repeat count comes from a value you typed earlier (e.g. scanf("%d",&n) then for(i=0;i<n;i++), or n=int(input()) then for i in range(n)), Xecute traces that automatically — including nested loops, like reading a matrix row-by-row where each row has its own count.
Each prompt also shows the expected value type(s) — e.g. (expects: int, float) — and phones get the matching keyboard: a numeric pad for whole numbers, decimal pad for numbers with a point.
For loops whose count can't be traced (sentinel loops like while input() != "done", or languages outside C/C++/Java/Python), Xecute falls back to letting you keep adding lines: press Enter to add another, Esc when you're done.
Run with last inputs (the clock-arrow icon next to Run) replays the exact stdin from your previous run of that file, so you're not re-typing the same test values every time you tweak the code.
Use the Stop button any time to cancel a run that's waiting on input or stuck talking to the backend. If the backend truly can't be reached, the terminal now says so directly rather than showing a generic error.

`Ctrl`+`Enter`	Run the current file

Easy Typing a lightweight, fully local suggestion dropdown — keywords for the current language plus words already in your file. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Split Layout switch the editor/preview between vertical and horizontal.
Format Code tidies HTML, CSS, JS/TS, and JSON.

Duplicate / rename the current file, minify code, export the whole workspace as a ZIP.
Zen Mode — hides the header and file tabs for a distraction-free view. Exit with the floating button or Esc.
Manage Cache — browse, restore, or delete previous auto-saved backups.
Share — see the "Sharing a Workspace" section above.
