Configure KWrite
Table of Contents
Selecting -> from the menu brings up the Configure Editor dialog box. This dialog can be used to alter a number of different settings. The settings available for change vary according to which category the user chooses from a vertical list on the left side of the dialog. By means of three buttons along the bottom of the box the user can control the process.
You may invoke the Help system, accept the current settings and close the dialog by means of the button, or the process. The categories Appearance, Fonts & Colors, Editing, Open/Save and Extensions are detailed below.
If this option is checked, the text lines will be wrapped at the view border on the screen.
Choose when the Dynamic word wrap indicators should be displayed.
Enables the start of dynamically wrapped lines to be aligned vertically to the indentation level of the first line. This can help to make code and markup more readable.
Additionally, this allows you to set a maximum width of the screen, as a percentage, after which dynamically wrapped lines will no longer be vertically aligned. For example, at 50%, lines whose indentation levels are deeper than 50% of the width of the screen will not have vertical alignment applied to subsequent wrapped lines.
If this option is checked, the current view will display marks for code folding, if code folding is available.
If this is checked, you will see an icon border on the left hand side. The icon border shows bookmark signs for instance.
If this is checked, you will see line numbers on the left hand side.
If this option is checked the current view will show marks on the vertical scrollbar. These marks will for instance show bookmarks.
These options are only displayed, if Enable power user mode (KDE 3 mode) in the next section is checked.
The bookmarks will be ordered by the line numbers they are placed at.
Each new bookmark will be added to the bottom, independently from where it is placed in the document.
Switch between simple and advanced mode. Changing this mode affects only newly opened / created documents. In KWrite a restart is recommended.
If this is checked, the editor will display vertical lines to help identifying indent lines.
If this is enabled, the range between the selected matching brackets will be highlighted.
