you can also use the arrow keys to move within the code without affecting the selected
code. You must select the Enable selection option to use the Persistent blocks option.
l
Overwrite blocks: Select to have any text you enter immediately after selecting a block of
code replace that block of code. You must clear Persistent blocks and select Enable
selection for this option to have an effect.
l
Enable selection: Select to permit the creation of selections in the Code area. If selected,
you can create a selection by clicking and dragging the pointer over a portion of code, or by
double-clicking to highlight the word or line under the pointer (the Double click line option
determines whether a word or line highlights). You may also press Ctrl + A to select all text.
You can cut, copy, paste, and print selections.
l
Enable dragging: Select to permit dragging and dropping a selection to reposition it in the
code. This option works only if you also select Enable selection.
l
Enable search highlight: Select to highlight the search term match found in the code
when you perform a search. Clear to prevent the highlighting. In both cases, the pointer
appears after the last character of the search term match.
l
Double click line: Select to highlight the complete line of code when you double-click that
line. Clear to highlight only the word under the pointer.
l
Find text at cursor: Use to set the behavior of the Find dialog box. Select to automatically
copy the word under the pointer into the Text to find box when you open the Find dialog
box. Clear to prevent the copy. If no previous search terms appear in the Text to find drop-
down list, the Editor performs the copy regardless of whether this option is selected or
cleared.
l
Block indent: Enter the number of spaces to jump for each block indent. The default is 2
and the maximum is 16. The Block indent typically should agree with the tab stops in the
Tab stops option. Perform a block indent by selecting a region of code and pressing
CTRL+SHIFT+I (to indent the code to the right) or CTRL+SHIFT+U (to move the code to
the left).
l
Tab stops: Use to set the number of spaces to advance when you enter a tab character or
to set a series of tab stops. Enter a single integer to set the number of spaces to advance
with each tab. Enter a sequence of two or more integers, each separated by a space, to
specify tab stops. The sequence must be in ascending order. Tab stops are measured in
number of space characters. For example, a value of 20 places the tab stop at the 20th
space character. You can also use the drop-down list to select a previously entered value.
