|
|
+ Just like other IDEs, LuaEdit allows customization of its own environment. This section will explain
|
|
|
+ the different modifications available through the "Editor Settings Window". This window, available
|
|
|
+ via the menu "Tools/Editor Settings...", is divisied in three major categories: "General", "Display"
|
|
|
+ and "Colors".
|
|
|
+ <br>
|
|
|
+ <br>
|
|
|
+ <b>The General Tab (Picture 1.1)</b><br>
|
|
|
+ This tab featrues miscellaneous options for the code editor and the IDE.
|
|
|

|
|
|
+ <li style="text-align: justify"><b>"Associate LuaEdit with Common Lua File"</b><br>
|
|
|
+ Check this option to associate the common *.lua and *.lpr files with LuaEdit in Windows. When checked,
|
|
|
+ LuaEdit will ask for a system reboot in order for those changes to take effect. Once done, it is
|
|
|
+ now possible to simply double-click on *.lua or *.lpr files and LuaEdit will handle automatic opening.
|
|
|
+ </li>
|
|
|
+ <li style="text-align: justify"><b>"Save Breakpoints"</b><br>
|
|
|
+ Check this option in order to allow LuaEdit saving the breakpoints information such as their conditions
|
|
|
+ and positions while saving a file. Next time you will reopen this file, the breakpoints should be reinitialized.
|
|
|
+ </li>
|
|
|
+ <li style="text-align: justify"><b>"Show Extended Save Dialog on Exit"</b><br>
|
|
|
+ Check this option in order to display a window wich groups all new or modified files opened that might need
|
|
|
+ to be saved when exiting LuaEdit. Without this option, LuaEdit will popup a message box for every file that
|
|
|
+ required a save on after the other.
|
|
|
+ </li>
|
|
|
+ <li style="text-align: justify"><b>"Save Projects Incrementally"</b><br>
|
|
|
+ Check this option in order to save *.lpr files in an incremental way. This means that if this option is checked
|
|
|
+ and you opened a file called "Project5.lpr", it will automatically save the file as "Project6.lpr" next time
|
|
|
+ you will save it. Just like "Project.lpr" will result into "Project1.lpr". This can be a good, safe and quick
|
|
|
+ way to backup files everytime you save it. (3D studio max has the same kind of feature)
|
|
|
+ </li>
|
|
|
+ <li style="text-align: justify"><b>"Save Units Incrementally"</b><br>
|
|
|
+ Check this option in order to save *.lua files in an incremental way. This means that if this option is checked
|
|
|
+ and you opened a file called "Unit9.lua", it will automatically save the file as "Unit10.lpr" next time
|
|
|
+ you will save it. Just like "Unit.lpr" will result into "Unit1.lpr". This can be a good, safe and quick
|
|
|
+ way to backup files everytime you save it. (3D studio max has the same kind of feature)
|
|
|
+ </li>
|
|
|
+ <li style="text-align: justify"><b>"Auto Indent"</b><br>
|
|
|
+ This option will make the code editor indenting the caret on new lines with the same amount of leading white spaces
|
|
|
+ or tabs as the preceding line.
|
|
|
+ </li>
|
|
|
+ <li style="text-align: justify"><b>"Group Undo"</b><br>
|
|
|
+ This will make undo/redo actions to handle all continous changes of the same kind in one call instead undoing/redoing
|
|
|
+ each changes separately on after the other.
|
|
|
+ </li>
|
|
|
+ <li style="text-align: justify"><b>"Use Tab Indent"</b><br>
|
|
|
+ Check this option in order to simulate the indent/unindent actions on the current selection by pressing the [Tab]
|
|
|
+ and [Shift+Tab].
|
|
|
+ </li>
|
|
|
+ <li style="text-align: justify"><b>"Use Smart Tabs"</b><br>
|
|
|
+ Check this option in order to send the cursor to the next non-white space character of the previous line when pressing
|
|
|
+ the [Tab] key.
|
|
|
+ </li>
|
|
|
+ <li style="text-align: justify"><b>"Move Caret on Right Click"</b><br>
|
|
|
+ Check this option in order to move the caret position when right clicking on the code editor. (This will still popup
|
|
|
+ the code editor popup menu)
|
|
|
+ </li>
|
|
|
+ <li style="text-align: justify"><b>"Use Enhance Home Key"</b><br>
|
|
|
+ Check this option in order to send the cursor to the first non-white space character of the current line instead of the
|
|
|
+ very begining of the current line. (If checked, press twice to do so)
|
|
|
+ </li>
|
|
|
+ <li style="text-align: justify"><b>"Convert Tabs to Spaces"</b><br>
|
|

|
|
|
+ </li>
|
|
|
+ <li style="text-align: justify"><b>"Keep Trailing Blanks"</b><br>

|
|
+ If this option is checked, spaces at the End Of Lines will be trimmed and not saved.
|
|
|
+ </li>
|
|
|
+ <li style="text-align: justify"><b>"Undo Limits"</b><br>
