The preferences
grouped under the "Editor" tab of the Preferences dialog box allow
you to customize the editor to suit your needs.
Font Name &
Size
You can use any
of the fonts and sizes given to you. Only a small number of fonts are list for
compatibility, and because most non-fixed width fonts do not display well.
Show Code Controller
This allows you
to switch the "Code Controller" (the tabbed bar at the left of the
main window) on and off. Most people prefer to have this enabled, but if you
are short on screen space you may disable it until you actually need it.
View Line Numbers
(Requires "Gutter" to be visible)
This option allows
you to toggle the display of line numbers in the margin of the document, or
the "Gutter" which can be made visible from the "View" menu.
Line numbers are automatically calculated for you, and can also be printed.
Auto Indent
/ Smart Tabs
Auto Indent will,
if enabled, automatically start a new line at the same position you started
the previous line at. This allows you to present a more "friendly"
code display, but it is not essential for HTML documents. Auto Indent can work
on any of the programming languages supported by ScriptWorx.
Insert Mode
This is used to
toggle the ability to overwrite existing lines of text by typing directly over
them, or to use the standard method of having to select text before overwriting
it.
Scroll Past
EOL
This allows you
to keep scrolling as far right to the screen as you need to.
Gutter Width
This specifies
the default width of the gutter in pixels. However, this value will be ignored
if you enabled line numbering, as extra space is usually required to display.
Undo/Redo Limit
You can set this
option to allow you to control the number of "undo" and "redo"
actions can be performed on a document. You may wish to set this at a low level
if ScriptWorx crashes frequently.
Extra Line Spacing
If you want extra
screen space between each line (if you're having difficulty reading lines of
code) then set this option to any value greater than 0 (zero).
