# JOE for Windows tips | ||
|
||
### Clipboard integration | ||
|
||
^K C in JOE and JSTAR will paste text from the Windows clipboard if no block | ||
is set. JOE also maps ^S to copy the current block into the clipboard. If | ||
you use a different personality, you may use the context menu (right click | ||
in the editor) to copy into/paste from the Windows clipboard. | ||
|
||
### Explorer integration | ||
|
||
You can drag files from Windows explorer onto JOE, and it will open those | ||
files. | ||
|
||
### Shell windows | ||
|
||
Shell windows work, but with some limitations. Programs that interact | ||
directly with the console interface (e.g., PowerShell) do not work and will | ||
appear to hang when run. You may be able to stop them by moving the cursor | ||
away from the end of file and pressing ^C to terminate. If that doesn't | ||
work, try task manager. | ||
|
||
Some programs can be made to work, for example Python needs the "-i" switch | ||
to function properly. The shell windows interact with applications | ||
similarly to the way that mintty does. If there is a workaround for mintty, | ||
it will likely work for JOE. | ||
|
||
### Appearance | ||
|
||
JOE for Windows comes with several builtin color schemes, which are more | ||
suitable for a GUI environment. They can be selected through the context | ||
menu (right click on the editor window). The font and cursor type may also | ||
be changed there. | ||
|
||
### Full screen | ||
|
||
You can toggle fullscreen mode with Alt-Enter to relive the old days. Even | ||
better, find a CP437 font! | ||
|
||
### File locations | ||
|
||
JOE for Windows uses a different (but similar) file layout than JOE for | ||
UNIXen. Most files important to the editor are found at the install | ||
location of the joe.exe file, usually C:\\Program Files (x86)\\JoeEditor. | ||
\*rc files are stored in the conf\\ subdirectory, \*.jsf files in syntax\\ and | ||
color schemes in schemes\\. | ||
|
||
You can override any of these files or settings by sticking a copy in your | ||
"home" directory. This directory is found in %LOCALAPPDATA%\\JoeEditor | ||
(where %LOCALAPPDATA% is the value of that environment variable -- it's | ||
usually C:\\Users\\(your user name)\\AppData\\Local\\JoeEditor). | ||
|
||
* Place any *rc files in the root of that directory | ||
|
||
* Place any *.jsf files in the syntax\\ subdirectory | ||
|
||
* Place any *.joecolor (color scheme) files in the schemes\\ subdirectory |
