Use this options page to set up editor behavior.

If checked, positions the cursor under the first nonblank character of the preceding nonblank line when you press Enter

If checked, moving and copying blocks of text by dragging with mouse are possible. If Ctrl key is pressed during dragging, text block will be duplicated. Otherwise, it will be moved.

If checked, it's possible to position the cursor beyond the end of line.

If checked, Home key has functionality as in MS Visual Studio. When key is pressed for the first time, cursor is positioned at the first non-blank character. When pressed second time, it jumps to the beginning of the line.

Places the text at the cursor into the "Find what" field in the Find/Replace dialog box when you choose Edit/Find.

If checked, tabs to the first non-blank character in the preceding line.

If checked, line numbers are shown in the gutter line.

If checked, allows you to retrieve changes after a save.

If checked, mouse pointer will be hidden during typing. Move mouse to show pointer back.

If checked, all blank characters at the end of lines will be deleted.

Set the character columns width that the cursor will move to each time you press Tab. This value is ignored when editing file if Smart tabs option is checked. If open file contains hard tab characters in it, they will be expanded to the value of tab width.

Specify the number of spaces to indent a marked block.

Specify the number of pixels that will be added between lines of text in editor.

Specify the number of spaces to automatically indent/outdent a { } block used in C and Java code.

Specify the shape of cursor when insert mode is active.

Specify the shape of cursor when overwrite mode is active.

EditPlug doesn't have internally native support for real hard tabs, so tabs will be converted to spaces when opening file and spaces will be converted back to tabs when saving file. Behavior of this situation is controlled by Tabs save mode option. If it's automatic, EditPlug detects appearance of the tabs when opening files and when saving it, it uses tabs again wherever possible. You may also force tabs and spaces using this option.

Specify the position of the column in which the text will be automatically wrapped to the next line when word-wrap mode is active. This value is used for Reformat paragraph command.

Is checked, gutter line on the left side of editor window is visible.

Specify the width of the gutter line.
