Hello,

How to setup "normal" text editor (e.g. gedit or emacs) for Library Manager.

Thanks.

    When clicking on vhdl, verilog cellviews, some elaborated editor opens (like gedit or emacs), but not default virtuoso editor.

    Possible ?

    You have to set the useExternalEditor variable. Take a look at https://support.cadence.com/apex/ArticleAttachmentPortal?id=a1Od0000000u9GSEAY.
