Code options

Configure various code editor options:

• Code completion/Wizards
  • Case: whether to use Lowercase, Uppercase or 'As defined/typed' for the code used by the autocompletion of commands, the Wizards and the creation of new objects.
    The 'As defined/typed' option will use the same case style as the user has typed on self defined items.
• Alignment: the alignment options to execute when pressing the Align Left button in the code editor, pressing F4 or when pressing F7 when the Auto align is set.
  • Enable aligning: when checked this will enable aligning. Uncheck to disable alignment, for example to avoid accidental aligning.
  • Remove empty lines except the last: when checked and there are multiple consecutive empty lines in the code, these will be reduced to a single empty line.
  • Align assignments under each other: when checked multiple consecutive assignments will be aligned to the assignment operator.
  • Align comments: when checked comments will be aligned to the rest of the code.
  • Auto align code when F7 is pressed: when checked the code will be automatically aligned when the syntax of the code has been validated by pressing F7.

• Display line after column: when checked an additional vertical line will be displayed in the editor behind the column number entered.
