"use strict" is accepted only inside a function but it isn't allowed to omit it. What can I do about that?

Every time I write a function using a text editor (Dreamweaver) it's not allowed to omit "use strict", but when I add it to the js file, it respondes in an error message: "use the function form" (so I need to declare it in every single function I write) any idea what I can do about that? I literaly can not work until I fix that.

Edit: I can not use ES2015 features in my text editor, I also posted a question about that. Maybe it is related to that issue.

The message about using 'function form" might just be a warning, it's certainly not a requirement of the language. And either way, there might be a configuration setting in the editor that would allow you to turn checking on or off.
