Hello, I wish this feature was a lot more simple to use. I have been scratching my head for a good 30 minutes without luck. I have opened my project and would like to edit my custom css on the file itself rather than using the pinegrow features on the right side of the panel. I cannot seem o be able to open the css files like I do with the html files. I keep getting this message: [https://www.screencast.com/t/VmHTOW9iAwtI](https://www.screencast.com/t/VmHTOW9iAwtI) I tried to find a link called “STYLE” in the navbar menus, nothing… Could the Pinegrow team make it a lot simpler by adding a right click and “edit css” on the file itself please? Thank you. Ben ---

Hello Bennyboy, Time for an upgrade 🙂 What about checking the super helpful in-app help that we have added in Pinegrow 3.1? There is a specific chapter about CSS and how to proceed. ![24](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/1X/bd41c78a9e4be7d159729e053a0a47344c39f1f9.jpg) Cheers. ---

Hi @Emmanuel, As discussed here on the Slack Channel, in the Feature Requests section: ![v3 CMD-E -- Edit Code](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/1X/1a1221acff73a0dcf758e47926c24118a523e940.png) Will Pinegrow 3 regain the ability of CMD-E (Edit Code) that was present in Pinegrow 2 ? (HTML / CSS / JS) ![v2-CMD-E----Edit-Code----CSS-Dropdown](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/1X/f64a2565645b225e79ab39f17f479ab92d6a5606.png) * * * **Also FYI** : I just noticed Pinegrow Version 2.951 is not stating version 3.1 is available, still says Pinegrow 3.07 on the welcome screen. At least for me when I grabbed the above screenshot. * * * Nice job with the in App help. 🌲❤ ---

Look for the sign \<\> top right - the editor isn’t perfect, but okay for minor changes - alternatively, use Atom with the Pinegrow package ---

Agreed - the CSS editing in the new version 3 is VERY frustrating to use compared with earlier versions. Non-intuitive to say the least. When everything else is such an improvement why drop the ball on such a basic feature? If we are to rely on Atom to edit both HTML and CSS code it does seriously devalue Pinegrow as an integrated product. ---

I have to agree on this, the css editing is so frustrating that I had to stop using the app as I am using less time to code with a basic editor but then again if you have to use a secondary software to edit a major part of websites(css), there is no points in using Pinegrow 3 anymore… Thanks.
