Per File Settings dialog box

The Per File Options dialog box lists a number of indenting and text wrapping options that you can set for the current file and current session only.

To bring up this dialog box, choosing View > Per File Settings.

Indent size

Controls the tab size that the Editor inserts when you press the Tab key. The default is 4 spaces. If you enter 0 to disable tabs, pressing Tab will insert a single space.

Ada indent size

For Ada language file types only. Same as above, except the default is 3. See "Language" for more information.

Ada continuation size

For Ada language file types only. Determines how far a line of Ada source code is indented if it continues to multiple lines.

Wrap column

If word wrap is enabled, this specifies the column at which word wrap takes affect. See "Word wrap" for more information. If a line grows to longer than this number of columns as you are typing, the Editor will insert a page break at the first white space before the column. It will indent the newly formed line by the same amount as the line above it, plus the wrap indent offset, described below.

Wrap indent offset

If word wrap is enabled, this determines how much the wrapped line will be indented past the indention of the line above it. See "Word wrap" for more information.

Word wrap

This check box enables or disables word wrap. If word wrap is enabled, the Editor will not wrap long lines while loading a file, but will wrap lines automatically as you type. See Wrap column and Wrap indent offset (above).

Disk format

Determines whether the file will be written in UNIX format or DOS format when the Editor saves it to disk. It will default to the appropriate setting.
