• DevDocs.io Integration: Highlight any word and trigger the relevant language documentation from inside Komodo, even when offline
• Project/Folder Templates: Bootstrap projects with many provided templates, or link to remote files on GitHub to hook projects into Komodo
• Minimized Configuration: Dependency Detector auto-detects installed third-party dependencies; Universal Package Manager lets you run commands within the editor
