General page

General settings

These settings affect when the code editor applies formatting options to code.

• Automatically format completed statement on entering semicolon

  When selected, formats statements when you choose the semicolon key according to the formatting options selected for the editor.

• Automatically format on paste

  When selected, formats text that is pasted into the editor to fit the formatting options selected for the editor.

Preview windows

The Indentation, New Lines, and Spacing subpages each display a preview window at the bottom. The preview window shows the effect of each option. To use the preview window, select a formatting option. The preview window shows an example of the selected option. When you change a setting by selecting a check box, the preview window updates to show the effect of the new setting.

Indentation remarks

Indentation options on the Tabs pages for each language only determine where the code editor places the cursor when you press Enter at the end of a line. Indentation options under Formatting apply when code is formatted automatically, for example:

• When you paste code into the file while Automatically format on paste is selected
• When the block being formatted is typed manually
