Edit settings
If enabled, the text cursor behaves as in the ST80 textView (and also as in
many other editing systems), in that the cursors position is limited to the
actual dimension of the underlying text (the ``text-stream'' philosophy as in
the ''vi'' editor).
I.e. the text cursor cannot be positioned behond the last character within a text line
and cannot be positioned behond the last line vertically.
The default ST/X behavior is to treat editText as if it was on a piece-of-paper,
where random-posioning is always posible, automatically adjusting the texts size
as required. (the ``piece-of-paper-WYSIWYG'' philosophy, as in the ''RAND'' editor.)
If enabled, text selection via double click behaves as in ST80,
which is sligtly different
from ST/X's normal (word-select) behavior:
-
Double click at the very top of the document, selects the whole text.
-
Double click at the beginning of a line, selects the line.
-
Double click right after the quotes of a comment, selects the comments text.
-
Double click right after the leftBrack of a block, selects the whole block.
Toggles Tab Stops between multiples-of-4 and multiples-of-8.
When loading/saving code from/into a file, tab stops are always assumed to
be in multiples of 8.
If on, text-search-boxes are modal. If off, they stay open as floating dialogs, for
easier incremental search operations.
The default is modal.
If on, text-dragging out of a TextView is only initiated if the CTRL-key is pressed
simultaneously.
Otherwise, a mouse-move with the left button pressed initiates a text-drag.
The default is to require the CTRL to be pressed.
