<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hello everyone,</p> <p>I need help with the basics of CodeSys to speed up my learning the software and its associated terminology.</p> <p>Libraries and Toolbox: <br/> <em> When I open a ladder POU the toolbox is populated with some instructions when I open astructured text POU the toolbox is empty is that normal? Is there a way to fill it with it instructions?<br/> </em> Is there a way to view the contents of a library or all libraries and a pane similar to Toolbox?</p> <p>Device Repository: <br/> Where can I find device description for different manufacturers? I have been able to add device description of Beckhoff I/Os but I can not find device description for CPUs. Same for Lenze and others. I think I'm not using the right terminology in my search.</p> <p>Interface: <br/> * Is there a way to get intellisense to open up drop-down list or anything like that as soon as I start typing and already declared variable?</p> <ul> <li> <p>Is there a way to utilize keyboard shortcuts? </p> </li> <li> <p>Are there interface add-ons to modify/improve it?</p> </li> </ul> <p>Thanks</p></div>
