Customizing the Script Editor

You can customize the Script Editor by enabling or disabling word wrap, by changing the text colors and fonts, and by changing the background color of the editing area. You can also disable keyword auto-completion. On-screen help for function parameters cannot be disabled.

The following types of text can be customized:

  • Default Style – All script text that is not a comment or an ACLScript keyword
  • Comment Style – Script comments
  • Command Style – ACLScript command keywords
  • Parameter Style – ACLScript parameter keywords
  • Function Style – ACLScript function keywords
  1. To enable or disable word wrapping, click Word Wrap  in the Script Editor toolbar.
  2. To change the text styles or background color in the Script Editor, do the following:
    1. Select Tools > Options.
    2. Click the Application Font tab.

      Note

      The fixed-width and proportional font settings on the Application Font tab apply to all application fonts, not only to the fonts in the Script Editor.

    3. In the Script Editor Settings area, select a text style or Background Color and click Change Color.
    4. In the Color dialog box, select a color from the Basic colors area or from the color palette. Or, if you know the Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) values of the color you want to use, enter them in the appropriate text boxes.
    5. Click OK.
    6. To bold a selected style, select Bold.
    7. To italicize a selected style, select Italic.
    8. Click OK.

    If you want to revert to the text styles and background color used when Analytics was first installed, click Factory at the bottom of the Options dialog box. Clicking Factory sets all options on all Options tabs to their default settings, not just the text styles and background color in the Script Editor.

  3. If you want to disable keyword auto-completion, do the following:
    1. Select Tools > Options.
    2. Click the Interface tab.
    3. Select Disable auto complete in scripts.
    4. Click OK.
