Navigating in the editor is now more similar to the editor navigation in
Net Express. You can configure things like word wrap and indentation, the movement of the cursor using the
Home and
End keys, the style of the ruler and the colors of the text and the margins:
- Smart editing mode
- The default mode in the editor is now Smart edit mode. It controls the word wrapping and the indentation in the different COBOL areas. You can configure the Smart edit mode from the
Tools > Options > Text Editor > Micro Focus COBOL > Margins page. To toggle the mode, click
in the COBOL toolbar.
- Home and End keys navigation
- You can configure how the
Home and
End keys move the cursor in the editor on the
Tools > Options > Text Editor > Micro Focus COBOL > Margins page. To toggle the mode, click
in the COBOL toolbar.
- Configuring the ruler
- You can specify whether to display the horizontal ruler in the editor and also choose its style, a default style or a mainframe style for which the ruler indicates COBOL area A/B, from
Tools > Options > Text Editor > Micro Focus COBOL > Margins and check
Show ruler.
