wise, the editing mode is set to replace.
• Throw away file lists - If selected, the modified File Manager file lists can be modified and closed
without being prompted to save.
• Auto exit build window - If selected, the concurrent build window is automatically exited when the buf-
fer is closed or when exiting the editor.
• Edit "A B C" start on file A - If selected, the first file opened becomes the active buffer.
• Short key names - If selected, key names in the MDI menu bar are condensed (non-CUA). For long
CUA key names, clear this check box.
• Reflow next - If selected, the reflow_paragraph command places the cursor on the next paragraph
after it has reformatted the current paragraph. Otherwise, the cursor is kept at the same location within
the current paragraph.
• Protect read-only mode - If selected, the editor will not let you modify a file that is in read-only mode.
The save command always prompts for a different output file name if the file is in read-only mode.
• CUA text box - If selected, the keys Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C, and Ctrl+V perform cut, copy, and paste com-
mands respectively for a text box other than the command line. In addition, the dialog manager takes
over the keys Alt+A through Alt+Z for selecting controls.
Note
Do not mark this check box if you want all of the keys to operate the same in a text box as they
do in the command line and edit windows.
• Paren match style - This feature always uses fast brace matching. Select from the following options
(the first three are mutually exclusive):
• Highlight - When selected, typing a closing parenthesis temporarily block-selects the text within the
parenthesis pair.
• Cursor to begin paren - When selected, typing a closing parenthesis temporarily places the cursor
on the matching begin parenthesis.
• None - When selected, typing a closing parenthesis just inserts the close parenthesis.
• Highlight matching blocks - When selected, the corresponding parenthesis, brace, bracket, or be-
gin/end word pairs under the cursor are automatically highlighted.
Tip
To customize the highlighting color, go to Window → Preferences, expand SlickEdit and click
General in the tree, then double-click the Color setting. Select the Block Matching screen ele-
ment. To adjust the delay in milliseconds before the highlighting is updated, go to Macro → Set
Macro Variable and modify the variable def_match_paren_idle. See Setting Colors for Screen
