If we take a look at the lib directory we will see the following files in there:

The code manager is determining what the open file in brackets actually is. The code manager can recognize Mendix custom widget JavaScript files. Mendix package.xml and properties.xml files.
We are developing the possibility to configure the package.xml and properties.xml files. And have already implemented that a Mendix JavaScript file can be read. All functions that are available inside the script can be seen inside a special panel on the left top inside brackets.
You are even able to click on the function and scroll to this function. The future of this functionality is that we will be able to help you rewrite your custom widget code to the latest and greatest code base. Showing you what is deprecated and seguesting alternative implementations.
