Setting the General behavior options

The following options are available to modify General behavior.

Virtual Space Mode

Enables you to type anywhere in the Edit pane.

When this option is enabled, you can type anywhere after the last existing character in a line, extending the line to the newly entered text. The Rules Editor automatically inserts the appropriate number of white spaces to extend the line.

By default, this option is disabled.

Insert Mode

This option is equivalent to pressing the Insert key on the keyboard.

When Insert Mode is enabled, the characters you type into the Edit pane are inserted without overwriting the existing text.

When Insert Mode is disabled, the text you type into the Edit pane overwrites the existing text in the current position.

By default, this option is enabled.

View White Space

Displays indicators to show spaces, tabs, and line feeds (returns).

By default, this option is disabled.

Word Wrap

Displays the entire contents of each line within the Edit pane by wrapping text at the right edge of the Edit pane.

By default, this option is disabled.

Group Undo

Groups similar consecutive actions, such as typing characters or deleting characters, so you can apply the undo action to the whole group.

After typing in a word with this option disabled, the undo command will remove one character at a time.

After typing in a word with this option enabled, the undo command will remove the entire word.

By default, this option is enabled.
