### 13.6 Editor support

There is support from different editors for LilyPond.

Emacs
  Emacs has a `lilypond-mode`, which provides keyword autocompletion, indentation, LilyPond specific parenthesis matching and syntax coloring, handy compile short-cuts and reading LilyPond manuals using Info. If `lilypond-mode` is not installed on your platform, then read the installation instructions.
VIM
  For VIM, a `vimrc` is supplied, along with syntax coloring tools. For more information, refer to the installation instructions.
LilyPondTool
  Created as a plugin for the jEdit text editor, LilyPondTool is the most feature-rich text-based tool for editing LilyPond scores. Its features include a Document Wizard with lyrics support to set up documents easier, and embedded PDF viewer with advanced point-and-click support. For screenshots, demos and installation instructions, visit http://lilypondtool.organum.hu

All these editors can be made to jump into the input file to the source of a symbol in the graphical output. See Point and click.
