Replace Selection on Input

When this option is on, and some text is selected within the active document, any data (either text or images) being inserted to this document, replaces this selection.

When this option is off, data is inserted immediately after the selection.

Enable Drag & Drop Editing

This option enables mouse Drag & Drop operations.

When this option is on, you can capture the selected text with the mouse and move it to another position (if you hold the Ctrl key while dragging the selection, the selection is not removed from its original position but a copy of the selection is inserted to the target position).

Group Undo

This option controls how the text typing is undone / redone.

When this option is on, Atlantis undoes / redoes such operations by whole words.

When this option is off, such operations are undone / redone "character by character".

Undo After Save

When this option is on, you could undo operations even after you have saved your document so that you could back your document to the state in which it was before saving (we recommend you turn this option on).

Find Word at Cursor

When this option is on, and there is no text selected in the active document, Atlantis will automatically place the word at the current cursor position to the Find field of the Find / Replace window each time you choose the Edit | Find / Replace commands.

When this option is off, the Find field will contain a word for which you previously searched.

Select Whole Words Automatically

When this option is on, the mouse selects text by whole words.

When this option is off, text is selected "character by character".

Zigzag Block Selection Mode

If you hold the Alt key while selecting text, the rectangular blocks (columns) will be selected.

This option controls the appearance of such blocks.

When this option is on, you can see which characters are actually selected and which are not.

When this option is off, a block is displayed as an usual rectangle.

Smart Cut & Paste

The Smart Cut & Paste is a powerful option that makes editing your documents more natural and comfortable.

When this option is on, Atlantis performs additional operations each time your delete selected text, cut selection to the clipboard, paste the contents of the clipboard, and perform Drag & Drop operations.
As a result of performing such additional operations, space characters might be deleted from your document or inserted to it.

The example. Let's imagine that we want to move the selected word never to the position after the word passed using the Drag & Drop operation (the space characters are displayed as dots).

If the Smart Cut & Paste is off, we will have the following result of our dragging:

As you might see, now there is no space between the passed and never words.
Also we have a spare space character between the probably and were words.
So we will have to correct both these problems manually.

Now let's turn the Smart Cut & Paste option on, and perform our operation again.

Atlantis has automatically inserted the space character between the passed and never words.
The spare space character between the probably and were words has been deleted too.

Anticipatory Scrolling

This option controls how a document window is scrolled with the cursor keys.

When this option is on, Atlantis will scroll a document window to make the cursor as closer to the middle of this window as possible.

When this option is off, a document window will be scrolled simply to make the cursor visible (the cursor might appear at the bottom of the document window or at the top).

Format Without Selection

This option determines how the font formatting operations are performed when no text is selected within the document.

When this option is on, and there is no text selected, a font formatting operation will be applied to the word containing the cursor.

When this option is off, no immediate formatting will be performed but Atlantis will await typing text to apply new font format to the text being typed.

Treat Email Addresses And URLs As Words

When this option is on, Atlantis will automatically recognize URLs (Emails and other Internet addresses) within your document and will allow you to easily select them.

For example, if this option is on, you could quickly select the desired URL within your document by double-clicking it.
