The Editor » Advanced branch of settings has the following options.

Allow low ASCII values to be entered (usually control codes)

This setting allows the input of low ASCII value characters like as control codes while editing. Normally these are ignored.

Load/restore printer settings

The editor will communicate with the printer driver when it loads and shuts down to preserve and restore settings. If a network printer is set as the default printer and not available (or on a latent network) this may cause a delay on startup while the editor tries to find the printer on the network. If this option is not selected then the editor will not communicate with the printer.

ESC key hides output window when visible

If this option is selected the output window may be dismissed by pressing the Escape key if the output window has focus.

Grouped undo

If this option is selected undo will be executed on a word-by-word rather than character-by-character basis. If this setting is toggled during the editing of a document (and the undo buffer is partially created with both settings) the undo functionality will reflect the settings in place at the time the document was created. This could cause part of the text in a file to be undone as grouped characters and part to be undone character-by-character.

Auto-save modified documents when application loses focus

If this option is selected all modified documents will be saved when focus shifts to another application.

Preserve leading spaces when joining lines

If this option is selected, leading spaces will be retained when the join lines command is executed.
