Chapter 4. Configure KWrite

Selecting Settings->Configure Editor... from the menu brings up the Configure Editor dialog box. This dialog can be used to alter a number of different settings. The settings available for change vary according to which category the user chooses from a vertical list on the left side of the dialog. By means of three buttons along the bottom of the box the user can control the process.

She or he may invoke the Help system, accept the current settings and close the dialog by means of the OK button, or Cancel the process. The categories Colors, Fonts Indent, Select, Edit, Spelling and Highlighting are detailed below.

Appearance

Word Wrap
Dynamic word wrap

If this option is checked, the text lines will be wrapped at the view border on the screen.

Dynamic word wrap indicators

Choose when the Dynamic word wrap indicators should be displayed.

Vertically align dynamically wrapped lines to indentation depth:

Enables the start of dynamically wrapped lines to be aligned vertically to the indentation level of the first line. This can help to make code and markup more readable.

Additionally, this allows you to set a maximum width of the screen, as a percentage, after which dynamically wrapped lines will no longer be vertically aligned. For example, at 50%, lines whose indentation levels are deeper than 50% of the width of the screen will not have vertical alignment applied to subsequent wrapped lines.

Show line numbers
