The CodeChat Server offers two modes that will work with almost any text editor or IDE:

-   A `file change watcher <CodeChat_Server-watch>` which renders any file as soon as it's saved. For example, executing ``CodeChat_Server watch`` will monitor all files in the current directory and all it subdirectories for a change, rendering as soon as the change is detected. This command can be run multiple times from multiple directories.

-   A `command-line render option <CodeChat_Server-render>` that allows an editor or IDE to perform a render by executing the CodeChat server with the ``render`` subcommand.

VIM
===
In VIM, enter ``:nmap <C-X> :w<cr>:!CodeChat_Server render % 1<cr>`` to define the Ctrl-X command in normal mode which saves the current file and renders it. Additional notes:

-   If you'd like to render files in a separate window, replace the ``1`` with any other number of your choice.
-   If the ``CodeChat_Server`` is not in your path, simply prepend the path: for example, ``:nmap <C-X> :w<cr>:!/path/to/CodeChat_Server render % 1<cr>``.
-   To make this mapping permanent, add it to your ``.vimrc`` file.
