Navigating Q-Remix

Q-Remix IDE is comprised of three panels and a terminal.

Q-Remix offers a thoughtfully organized user interface that empowers developers, auditors, and creators to work efficiently within a modular, AI-assisted development environment. Here’s a breakdown of the core areas of the interface:

Icon Panel

Located on the far left, the Icon Panel acts as the primary navigation bar.

  • Click on any icon to open its corresponding plugin in the Side Panel.

  • You can customize which plugins appear here by enabling/disabling them via the Plugin Manager.

  • Hovering reveals tooltips, ensuring discoverability for new users.

Side Panel

This is where most plugin interfaces live.

  • Interact with plugins such as the File Explorer, Compiler, Deployer, and AI Assistant.

  • Plugin UIs are compact, collapsible, and modular, making it easy to switch tasks.

  • Some plugins (like AI Chat or Analytics) may expand into the Main Panel instead.

Main Panel

The core workspace for interacting with your project.

  • Edit Solidity contracts, view files, or open plugins with extended UIs (like visual debuggers or deployment dashboards).

  • Also includes tabs for the Home Page, live previews, and AI-generated outputs.

  • Supports multiple tabs and panes for multitasking.

Terminal

Positioned at the bottom of the screen.

  • Displays transaction receipts, compilation output, console logs, and warnings.

  • Integrated with the Debugger for step-by-step tracing of failed transactions.

  • You can resize or detach the terminal for a cleaner view.

Home Tab

The Home Page serves as your landing space when Q-Remix launches. It includes:

  • Quick links to Q-Remix and Quranium’s social media and documentation.

  • Options to explore featured plugins, clone templates, or browse pre-built DApp prototypes.

  • Access to recent workspaces, tutorials, and onboarding walkthroughs.

Default Tools

When Q-Remix loads for the first time, the following tools and plugins are active in the Icon Panel by default:

  • File Explorer – Manage files and folders in your smart contract project.

  • Solidity Compiler – Compile contracts with selectable compiler versions.

  • Deployer – Deploy contracts to testnets or local simulators.

  • AI Assistant – Interact with the built-in AI to generate, refactor, or debug code.

  • Terminal – View logs and interact with the runtime output.

You can always add or remove tools by clicking the Plugin Manager icon at the bottom of the Icon Panel.

Icon Panel – Click to choose which plugins appear in the Side Panel. Side Panel – Displays the interface for most plugins (though not all). Main Panel – Used for editing files, accessing large-format tools, and viewing the Home tab. Terminal – Shows transaction receipts and various logs.
