Code Editor Configuration

A variety of code editor features can be customized through setting properties in the code
editor configuration files.

Configuration Files
Code editor configuration files are located in the Configdirectory under the Enterprise
Architect installation directory. The Config directory contains a configuration file for
each language supported by Enterprise Architect.

Loading of code editor properties is done in two steps

1. The global configuration file global.propertiesis parsed
2. The language specific configuration file (eg javaSyntax.properties,
cppSyntax.properties) is parsed. In the event that a property assignment
is specified in both the global and language specific configuration, the language
specific version will be used. Thus the language specific configuration file can be
used to override any properties set in the global configuration file.

The configuration file syntax consists of one key/value pair per line. The key and value
are seperated by the equals (=) operator. Lines that begin with the hash (#) or exclamation
(!) symbols are regarded as comment lines and are not parsed.

NOTE: Property assignments that span over multiple lines are not supported.

Configuration Property Types

A Configuration Property will have a certain type, which determines the format its value
should take. The table below lists the set of valid Configuration Property Types

Type Description
boolean Either true or false
number Any numeric value
string A sequence of characters that form a string literal
style A list of style elements delimited by a comma (,). Colors are
defined in HTML notation (eg #FFFFFF)

Valid style elements are:

● font:fontname
● size:fontsize
● fore:color
● back:color
● bold
● italic
● eolfilled
Configuration Properties
Configuration properties fall into either one of two categories: GeneralPropertiesor
Lexer Specific Properties.

The lexer is the mechanism used to lexically analyze the editor contents and advise the
editor to apply various styles according to its rules. Generally a lexer applies to a specific
language, however semantically similar languages (such as C++ and Java) may share
lexers.

A lexer will often define its own unique set of style classes (eg operators, keywords,
pragma statements). Thus Lexer SpecificProperties specify how these unique classes are
to be styled.

Conversely, General Properties can be set in all configuration files regardless of which
lexer is used.

General Properties
Property Type Description
AUTO_BRACKETS boolean Specifies whether a terminating bracket is
automatically entered when an opening bracket is
typed.
BRACE_HIGHLIGHTING boolean Specifies whether automatic brace highlighting is
performed.

Automatic brace highlighting will visually

highlight both the brace that the cursor neighbours
and its matching brace.
COMMENT_LINECOMMENT_TOKEN string Specifies the token to be added to the start of a line
when it is block commented (CTRL-SHIFT-C)
COMMENT_STREAMCOMMENTSTART_TOKEN string Specifies the token to be added to the start of the
selection when it is stream commented (CTRL-
SHIFT-X).
COMMENT_STREAMCOMMENTEND_TOKEN string Specifies the token to be added to the end of the
selection when it is stream commented (CTRL-
SHIFT-X).
FOLD_AT_ELSE boolean Specifies whether the folding routine will create a
new foldable code section for each else
if/else in an if block.
FOLD_COMMENT boolean Specifies whether the folding routine will treat
comments as foldable code sections.
FOLD_COMPACT boolean Specifies whether the folding routine will consider
blank lines.
FOLD_PREPROCESSOR boolean Specifies whether the folding routine will treat
preprocessor statements as foldable code sections.
LEXER string Instructs the editor to use the specified lexer to
decorate the editor contents. The choice of lexer
determines which set of lexer specific properties
can be set.
 Supported lexers are:
● ada
● bat
● cpp
● diff
● eacgt
● html
● mbnf
● pascal
● props
● python
● sql
● vb
● vbscript
● verilog
● vhdl
● xml
INDENT_AUTOMATIC boolean Specifies whether the editor will perform automatic
indentation, based on the scope of the current
control block.

Please consult the property definitions for the

following properties for further customization:
INDENT_BLOCK_START_CHAR
INDENT_BLOCK_END_CHAR
INDENT_STATEMENT_END
INDENT_STATEMENT_KEYWORDS
INDENT_STATEMENT_LOOKBACK
INDENT_BLOCK_START_CHAR string Specifies the token that is used to open a control
block (usually an open brace).

This value is used for calculating automatic

indentation.
INDENT_BLOCK_END_CHAR string Specifies the token that is used to terminate a
control block (usually an closing brace).

This value is used for calculating automatic

indentation.
INDENT_GUIDES boolean Specifies whether vertical guides are drawn at each
indent on the line.

Indent guides can be useful in identifying the scope

of control blocks if they are correctly indented.
INDENT_STATEMENT_END string Specifies the token used to end a statement.

This value is used for calculating automatic

indentation.
INDENT_STATEMENT_KEYWORDS string A space seperated list of keywords that should
cause an increase in indentation if the control block
is not terminated on the same line.
 For example:
case default do else for if
private protected public while
INDENT_STATEMENT_LOOKBACK number Specifies the maximum number of lines the editor
will check back on when calculating automatic
indentation.
INDENT_WIDTH number Sets the size of indentation with respect to the
width of a space character. Setting this value to 0
will result in the indentation size being set to the
same size as a tab.
INTELLISENSE_AUTOCOMPLETE_ITEMS number Sets the maximum number of items that are visible
in the autocomplete list. If the amount of items in
the autocomplete list exceeds this value a vertical
scrollbar will be shown.
MARGIN_COLUMN number Specifies which line the margin line is drawn at. A
value of 0 will turn the margin line off.
STYLE_BRACEBAD style Specifies the style for an unmatched brace.
STYLE_BRACELIGHT style Specifies the style for a currently highlighted
brace.
STYLE_CALLTIP style Specifies the style for intellisense calltips.
TAB_USE_SPACES boolean Specifies whether indentation is based soley on
spaces. If set to false indentation will be based on a
combination of tabs and spaces.
TAB_WIDTH number Defines the width of a tab in characters.
WORD_CHARACTERS string Within the context of the editor, the notion of a
word is defined as a contiguous sequence of
characters that are found in the set of characters
defined by the WORD_CHARACTERS property.

Any editor functions that operate on words refer to

this character set when determining what the word
is.

For example if WORD_CHARACTERS did not

contain the underscore character (_) then the literal
sequence TEST_HARNESS would be considered
to be two words.
WHITESPACE_VISIBLE boolean Specifies whether whitespace characters (eg tab,
space) are displayed.
