Configuring

Overview
offers several means of tweaking the application to behave as desired. The most important ones are:
The Configuration Dialog 	The main configuration tool, allowing you to configure the application, the editor component and the usage of plugins.
The Settings Menu 	Allows you to change often used settings, and to launch the configuration dialogs.
The View Menu 	Allows you to split the current frame, as well as to display the icons and line numbers pane for the currently edited document.
The embedded terminal uses the configuration defined in the , and may also be configured by clicking the to display a context menu.

The Main Configuration Dialog
The configuration dialog displays a tree of topics on the left, and a configuration page corresponding to the selected topic on the right.
The configuration is divided into two groups, namely
Application configuration
Editor component configuration

The Application Configuration
This group contains pages to configure the main application

General
This section contains a few global options for
Behavior 	
Warn about files modified by foreign processes 	When enabled, will notify you about files modified from outside the application whenever the main window receives input focus. You will be able to deal with several modified files at once, you can reload, save or discard changed files in groups.
If not enabled, will prompt you for action when an externally modified file receives focus within the application.
Meta Information 	
Keep meta-information past sessions 	When enabled, will store meta data such as bookmarks and session configuration even when you close your documents. The data will be used if the document is unchanged when reopened.
Delete unused meta information after 	Set the maximum number of days to keep meta information for previously opened files. This helps keeping the database of meta information reasonably sized.

Sessions
This section contains options related to using sessions.
Session Elements 	
Include window configuration 	If enabled, will save the window configuration with each session.
Behavior on Application Startup 	 Select how you want to behave at startup. This setting can be overridden by specifying what to do on the command line.
Start new session 	With this option, will start a new, unnamed session when you start the application.
Load last-used session 	 will use the most recently opened session at startup. This is good if you want to use the same session always or switch rarely.
Manually choose a session 	 will display a small dialog that lets you choose your preferred session, or load the default session if none have been saved. This is the default behavior. Nice if you use a lot of different sessions frequently.
Any changes to the session data (opened files and, if enabled, window configuration) will always be saved.

Plugins
This page provides a list of installed plugins for the application. Each plugin is represented with its name and a short description. You can check the checkbox with an item to enable the plugin it represents.
If a plugin provides configuration options, a section to access those will appear as a child of this page.
