Script Editor Preferences

LN Studio preferences

Use these pages to define LN Studio-specific preferences:

• Preferences - Editor

  Use this page to define various editor preferences. You can specify the "Marker Identifier" used in maintenance comments, and define background color settings for the editor. You can also enable Mark Occurrences, and indicate whether the editor must highlight matching brackets.

• Preferences - Syntax

  Use this page to define different font colors for the various sections in the 4GL scripts and libraries.

• Preferences - Code Assist

  Use this page to define Code Assist settings, such as background color and foreground colors for completion proposals, and the auto activation trigger character.

• Preferences - Folding

  Use this page to define the preference settings for Folding. For example: you can select the region types for which folding must be enabled, and you can specify whether folding must be enabled when you open a new editor.

• Preferences - Templates

  Use this page to define templates for various 4GL programming statements, such as case, for, repeat and while. You can use Code Assist to include these templates in your scripts or libraries.

To access these preference pages:

1. Select Window > Preferences.
2. In the left pane of the Preferences window, select Infor LN Studio Application > Editor.

Standard Eclipse preferences

There are various pages you can use to define standard Eclipse preferences.

For example:

• Use the Preferences - Editors page to define various preferences. For example: You can specify the size of the recently opened files list, and indicate whether you wish to show multiple editor tabs.
• Use the Preferences - Annotations page to specify where and how the different annotation types (such as error markers, warning markers, and task markers) are displayed in the editor. For example: you can specify per annotation type whether markers must be displayed in the text or in the overview ruler.
• Use the Preferences - Quick Diff page to configure settings for the Quick Diff feature. Quick Diff automatically adds color-coded change indicators in the marker bar while you are typing. In the preference page you can, for example, define colors for the change indicators.
• Use the Preferences - Text Editors page to define appearance options for the editor. For example: You can specify whether the current line must be highlighted, and whether line numbers must be displayed on the left side of the text editor.

To access these preference pages:

1. Select Window > Preferences.
2. In the left pane of the Preferences window, select General > Editors.
