Hi,
When I print code to have a hard copy, it almost never fits on one line and is difficult to read. Is there a way to adjust:
- default indent
- default tab
- font size
Thanks

Funny i was just going to post about editor font. Is there no way to adjust that ginormous font used in the editor. I'd prefer an 8pt font myself. I just cant get enough code on my 1600x1200 screen to be productive. That font is doing my head in.

We'll add it to our list of issues to address short term. No ETA yet. Rather weeks than months. Thanks for bringing this up.

Guys,
Which properties would you want to see configurable in the NS editor?
- font?
- else?
Thanks in advance

Font, size of font.
Turn of annoying compile popups
Here some mor eif your interested....
Most editors have a status bar that tells you if your on insert/overwrite, character in line, line number etc. see other dev ide's and copy from them
Also CTRL-F should find CTRL R should replace and F3 should find next. This is standard in every editor i know of except for ninja traders.

Thanks for your suggestions. Unfortunately we can not get rid of the compile popups (internal reasons).

Add to that background color of the editor, off white is sometimes easer to look at than pure white, espically if on a CRT.

The new font setting does not satisfy the intended purpose of allowing one to see more code on the screen. This is because the line spacing does not change which i suspect is controlled by the line numbering font and hence defeats the purpose.
Can you make the line numbering font respect the same size?
Thanks

btw the CTRL F find functionality is welcomed but it usually the norm to populate the find input field with the currently selected editor text.
