The above page covers features from both Edit and IDE - some will only 
apply to the IDE version. For a full comparison of features you can 
check out:

Komodo Edit does not offer a quick run (F5) command by default, you 
could create your own Python command [1] in the Komodo toolbox and 
assign it the F5 key binding to serve such a purpose.

[1] The short command for running a Python script is: "%(python) %F", 
which uses Komodo's interpolation shortcuts:
