With a file visible in the File Editor pane, shown in Figure 11.1, you can change display options. Select Edit → Advanced from the main menu to set up temporary File Editor display options. This displays the Advanced Editing Controls menu.
Select options from this menu to set:
the default size for all tabs in the text
the character width for Shift Lines Left and Shift Lines Right
the text coloring scheme for source code
automatic line numbering and renumbering
tooltip evaluation for variables and registers.
Any changes you make here are temporary and are lost when you close down. Changes to line numbering and tooltip evaluation apply to the current Code window and do not persist to any new Code windows that you create. However, enabling text coloring or changing the default tab size or character width (for Shift Lines Left and Shift Lines Right) applies to the current Code window and to any new Code windows in the current session.
