Brackets File Menu

In this topic, we explain about the File Menu in detail with screenshots.

File menu consists of the file-related operations.

Tip! Ctrl is the control key for Windows and Cmd is the command key for Mac. So replace "Ctrl" with "Cmd" to form a shortcut key for Mac.

Most of the File Menu options are present in other text editors. However we are reiterating them once again. The File menu operations are -
