Show Line Nums -- Shows the line numbers in the gutter to the left of the editing area.

Word wrap -- Turns on automatic wordwrapping at the column specified by the Right Edge option.

Visual Brace Matching -- When the cursor is moved to the left of a blocking character (any of the set "{,},[,],(,)") it will underline and change the character of both the character to the right and it's matching character.

Show Special Chars -- Will show tabs and spaces as special graphical characters instead of leaving the area of the line blank.

Backspace Unindents -- When using spaces for indents using the backspace will automatically delete the block of spaces representing on indent level, with this feature turned off the backspace will only remove one space at a time.

Tab Indentation -- Use tab characters when making an automatic indentation, when turned off the appropriate number of spaces will be used instead.

Right Edge: -- Specifies the maximum number of characters for a line before wordwrapping is invoked. The default value is 80, but can be changed to suit the requirements. (This specifies where the light grey line will show up in the editing window)

Tab Width: -- Specifies the width of Tab. By default it is set to 4 spaces.

Font: -- Sets the font used by the editing window.
