The Editor Page
The Editor page of the Environment Options dialog box allows you to control how the editor
works for you. As you can see from Figure 10.14, there are a lot of options available on this
page.
Figure 10.14.
The Editor page of the
Environment Options
dialog box.
NOTE
At the top of the page is a combo box labeled Editor SpeedSetting. You can choose Default
keymapping, IDE Classic, BRIEF emulation, or Epsilon emulation from the combo box. If
you change the setting in this combo box, the Editor Options will change to reflect the
defaults for the type you chose.
If you are new to programming or if you have been using other Borland
compilers using the Default keymapping, you don’t have to worry
about what you are missing. For those of you who are accustomed to
years of using a particular type of editor, you will be glad to know that
you can still use the keyboard shortcuts and editor options you know
and love by simply changing the Editor SpeedSetting on this page and
on the Display page.
Toward the bottom of the screen you will see the Block indent and Tab stops fields. You can
use these two fields to change the amount by which code is indented when you block indent
or when you tab to the next tab stop. Block indenting is discussed in the section “Highlighting
Text.”
