In the CotEditor app
on your Mac, use Window settings to control how document windows look and behave.
To change these settings, choose CotEditor > Settings, then click Window.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Open documents in tabs | Select how documents are opened in tabs instead of new windows:
|
| Window size | Set the default window width and height in pixels. When fields are left blank, CotEditor uses the size of the last opened window. |
| Line numbers | Show line numbers at the leading side of editors. |
| Invisible characters | Show invisible characters such as line endings, whitespace, and control characters using alternative symbols so they are visible. See Show invisible characters for the available types of invisible characters. |
| Indent guides | Show indent guide lines for each indent width in editors. |
| Page guide | Show a page guide line at a specific column in the editor. The drawing position varies depending on the text font. The default font can be changed in Appearance settings. |
| Change background color | Highlight the lines containing insertion points using a different background color. The Current Line color in the selected theme is used for this highlight. |
| Wrap lines to editor width | Soft-wrap long lines to fit the window so they remain fully visible. If this option is off, a horizontal scroll bar appears instead of wrapping text. |
| Indent wrapped lines | Automatically indent wrapped lines. You can also set additional indent width for them. |
| Writing direction | Select the default writing direction in editors. |
| Overscroll | Set the amount of extra space at the bottom of editors so you can scroll past the end of a document. At 0%, scrolling stops at the end of the document. At 100%, scrolling continues until only the last line remains visible. |
| Status bar shows | Select the information shown in the status bar at the bottom of the window. |
