Editing Actions in JSON Schema Design Mode

The JSON Schema Design mode includes various editing features, including:
  • You can edit a JSON Schema using various contextual menu actions.
  • You can copy/paste or drag/drop to move existing components to other locations in an JSON Schema. You can also use the Move Up/Down actions to change the order of the components in a parent.
  • You can edit schema components directly in the diagram. For these components, you can edit the name and the additional properties presented in the diagram by double-clicking the value you want to edit. If you want to edit the name of a selected component, you can also press Enter. The list of properties that can be displayed for each component can be customized in the JSON Schema Properties preferences page.
  • When switching between editing modes, the cursor position is synchronized. For example, if you switch from Design to Text mode, the cursor will be in the same position within the document in Text mode as it was in Design mode, and vice versa.
  • The content completion assistant can be used for in-place editing within the JSON schema Design mode. For example, when editing properties, you can use Ctrl+Space to invoke the content completion window and the proposals are offered based on the defined JSON schema, according to the version used.
  • You can drag properties/definitions from the Outline view and drop them into appropriate location in the diagram editor.
