Subsections

18.1 Display Options

18.1.1 Wordwrap On/Off [Options Menu W]

By default Ved displays text with word wrap enabled. This works for most types of editing. However, there are times when you do not want this feature. For example, you may find it easier to disable word wrap when editing program source code, or wide lists. When word wrap is disabled and lines are too wide to fit the screen Ved will horizontally scroll the screen when you move though the lines.

18.1.2 Display EOLs [Options Menu O]

In most cases you do not want the EOL (end of line) characters to be displayed, so Ved displays them the same as space characters. With this option you can force EOLs to be displayed. The actual character(s) used to display an EOL can be modified with the ``character'' option in a RC file (see Section 19.3.2).

18.1.3 Tab Width [Options Menu B]

By default, a tab is assumed to be 8 columns wide. You can adjust this to any value between 1 and 12 with this option. This can also be set in an RC file (see Section 19.5).
