About YASQE

YASQE is part of the regular YASGUI web application. YASQE provides a simple syntax highlighted text area, bundled with features such as autocompletion, and the option to query SPARQL endpoints. var yasqe = YASQE(document.getElementById("showcase"));
(or, if you would like to instantiate YASQE from an existing text area, use var yasqe = YASQE.fromTextArea(document.getElementById('textAreaItem'));

• [CTRL|CMD] - ENTER: Execute query
• [CTRL|CMD] - SHIFT - f: Auto-format selected lines
• [CTRL|CMD] - [: Move line(s) left (unindent)
• [CTRL|CMD] - ]: Move line(s) right (indent)
• [CTRL|CMD] - ALT - down: Copy line(s) down
• [CTRL|CMD] - ALT - up: Copy line(s) up
• [CTRL|CMD] - Enter: Execute query (if you have defined handlers in the configuration)
• [CTRL|CMD] - S: Store the editor contents in local storage (if this is enabled)

Thanks!

A big thanks goes out to:

• The people behind the Flint SPARQL editor for publishing the javascript SPARQL grammar
• Marijn Haverbeke for his great work on the CodeMirror library syntax highlighting library
• Pierre-Yves Vandenbussche and Bernard Vatant for their useful Linked Open Vocabularies service, of which I use the API to autocomplete properties and classes
• Richard Cyganiak for his simple but effective Prefix.cc service, which I use for autocompleting prefixes.
