Setting editor profiles

You can configure the editor to adopt the keyboard and command personalities of several popular editors.

In editor applications that provide preference pages, you can set the editor profile from the main preference page.  To set an editor profile:

1. Select the main editor preference page.
2. Select the profile that you want to use from the Editor profile selection list, for example

   seu 

3. Click Apply or OK.

You can also set an editor profile with the set updateProfile.baseProfile command.  The setting will be in effect in the current view during the current edit session.  For example, to set the editor profile to seu, issue these two commands from the command line:

set updateProfile.baseProfile seu
updateProfile 

Use the set default.updateProfile.baseProfile command to set a persistent, global editor profile:

set default.updateProfile.baseProfile seu
updateProfile
