The settings dialog is divided into 8 categories listed in the container on the left side of the dialog. Select a category from the container and the settings for that item will appear.  As you change the settings they will effectively be changed immediately.

The categories and their settings are:

• Toggles - Turn items on or off here.
  • IMPORT D&D - When dropping dragged text on the edit window, this toggles whether the editor "imports" text to the current cursor location or completely replaces the text in the editor.(EEE)
  • WORD WRAP - Toggles WordWrap on or off. This may also be toggled from the menu.
  • BUBBLE HELP - As the mouse passes over the toolbar, textboxes popup to help identify each button. This setting toggles bubble help "On" or "Off". (EEE)
  • AUTOINDENT - Toggles automatic indentation on/off. Automatic indentation will cause a newline to automatically indent to match the previous line. AutoIndent is available only in the EEE editor. (EEE)
  • LOAD RING - Loads history file listing into ring (and ring editor) at startup. (Back button will load your last file from previous sessions etc. (EEE)
• Set Tab - Sets size of the tab in the editor.
  • TAB SETTING - Spin the spin button to change the size of the tab in the editor in characters.
• AutoSave - The editor can save your work automatically if you like.
  • AUTOSAVE - Toggles AutoSave on/off.
  • MIN BETWEEN SAVES - Sets the interval in minutes between saves. The spin button selects the number of minutes between automatic saves or you can type the number in. It is only enabled when the "AutoSave" checkbox is checked. The light just to the left of the  File History combobox will light up during any disk activity the EEE creates. AutoSave is available only in the EEE  editor. Be careful using AutoSave, it saves mistakes too... (EEE)
• History - Information on the history of the files you have visited can be adjusted here.
  • DRIVE LETTERS - The editor checks the history list when loading and discards non-existing filenames. This allows you to filter out filenames from drives that may not have media in them in case you get pop ups from the system saying "Drive not ready" for example.
  • HISTORY LIMIT - Sets the limit of file names and locations that are tracked in the File History combobox. The limit was installed as a measure against having an ini file with so many names that it degrades loading performance and creates a huge unusable combobox. Set it to suit your taste and cpu. The shareware version of EEE has a built in limit of 10 History Files stored the full version has no limit. (EEE)
  • HISTORY FONT - Opens the font dialog to set a new font for the History combobox. (EEE)
• Sound - Toggles sounds on or off and sets the sound file to use.
  • SOUND - Turns sound ticks on/off when clicking toolbar icons. See Errata for more on the toolbar sounds.(EEE)
  • SELECT SOUND - The listbox holds a listing of your \sounds subdirectory. When you select a soundfile the settings dialog will sample it for you. To change the sound in the editor, select the preferred sound and click the "Use selected sound" button.
    • The "click.wav" file in the editor directory is always the sound file used by the editor. It has it's "read only" attribute set so it will not be overwritten during updates or installations.
    • You may add as many sound selections as you like to the \sound directory and the settings window will list them for you. The editor will make copy your selection to the main directory and set it's "read only" attribute automatically.
    • Please avoid the click?.wav filename for your new wav files as they will be overwritten on each installation.
• Confirms - Dialog windows that pop up to ask questions can be turned on or off here.
  • CONFIRM SAVE - Uncheck to turn "File saved" dialog OFF after saving a file.
  • CONFIRM CLOSE - Uncheck to turn "Do you want to Exit?" dialog OFF at program exit.
  • CHANGED FILE - Uncheck to save changed files automatically at program end with no confirmation. (Dangerous... best left ON)
  • PRESENTATION - Uncheck to turn "Toggle Presentation mode with ctrl+p" OFF when switching to Presentation Mode.
• Personal - Items that can be entered in the editing window with a hotkey.
  • NAME - Enter the name to be used for "Insert - Name" (EEE)
  • SIG FILE - Enter the full path to the signature file to be used for "Options - Insert - Sig File..." or click on "Browse" to locate one. (EEE)
