Preferences

Wing provides many preferences to control the behavior of the IDE. These are available from the Preferences item in the Edit menu, or WingPro menu on macOS. Preferences are organized by category. Documentation for each preference is displayed when the mouse is hovered over it.

The search field at the top of the Preferences dialog finds preferences by name, and is usually the quickest way to find one.

This manual names each preference by its place in the Preferences dialog of the Modern and Emulate looks, as in Editor > Show Whitespace. The Classic look organizes the dialog differently. In the IDE, each preference named in the manual links to it in the dialog. The Preferences Reference gives each preference's place in both organizations.

All preferences are also documented in the Preferences Reference.
