  • Show line numbers: Shows line numbers to the left of the editor.
  • Enable code folding: Adds expand/collapse buttons to the editor gutter.
  • Enable autocomplete: Shows a completion dialog in certain code blocks.
  • Highlight the gutter for the active line: If a gutter is shown (e.g. for line numbers), the gutter for the current line is shown in a different color.
  • Highlight spaces: Makes spaces and tabs visible.
  • Highlight trailing spaces: Highlights space characters at the end of lines.
  • Highlight selection matches: If text is selected, other visible instances of the same text are highlighted.
  • Show background grid pattern: Shows a grid pattern behind the editor's content.

  • Text direction (advanced): Allows setting the editor's text direction to right-to-left or left-to-right for all lines, regardless of system language settings.
