Quick fixes to quickly resolve errors

Quick fixes are one or more possible corrections the ST-editor offers for found errors.
A "light bulb" icon on the border left of the code indicates that quick fixes might be available. Note that the icon is only a hint; even with shown, it might turn out that no quick fixes are available.

Use the quick fixes to quickly resolve found errors.
For example, if you assign a program within the PLC-object but this program cannot be found in any ST-object, the name of the program is underlined and appears on border left of the name to indicate the error and the available quick fix. You can use the quick fix to change the name to an already existing program.But quick fixes are not only useful to resolve errors that accidentally occurred. Another common usage is to intentionally enter an "incorrect" code, for example by referring to a variable that is not declared yet. Then, you can use the command Quick Fix (if applicable) to create the declaration.

The command Quick Fix is available in 2 places:
