# Open / Close

In goormIDE, you can open source code files, as well as Vim editor and ZIP/TAR files. 

It also remembers recently opened files so you can easily get back to what you were working on.

### File - Default editor

To open a file, double-click the file you want to open in the Project Explorer on the left layout of goormIDE, or right-click and go to **\[Open]** or **\[Open with] > \[Default Editor]**.

Alternatively, go to **\[File] > \[Open File]** or press the default shortcut **`Ctrl + O (Mac: ⌘O)`**. \
In the '**Open File**' pop-up window that appears, select the file and press the **`OK`** button to open it. \
Depending on the file's extension, it may open in the default editor, or it may open in a document viewer, **Some extensions may not open because they are not supported.**

To view recently opened files, go to **\[File] > \[Open Recent Files]**. \
You can see up to five recently opened files, and clicking each file name will open the file. \
However, you may not be able to open files from other users that have been deleted or unshared.

Click **`Clear`** to clear your history.

### Vim Editor (Vim)

In addition to the regular editor, goormIDE also provides a Vim editor. When you open a file with the Vim editor, you can open the editor in the same environment as running Vim in the terminal.&#x20;

To open the Vim editor, right-click the file you want to open in the Project Explorer on the left layout of goormIDE, and then go to **\[Open as] > \[Vim Editor]**. \
This will open the editor with the editing environment set to Vim instead of the terminal. \
You can still use Vim shortcuts in the editor, and they work exactly the same as in Vim.
