`FindDialog_UsesFindScrap`boolean Find Dialog: Uses Find Scrap	boolean	Like many Mac OS X applications, BBEdit supports the "Find Scrap", a feature of the OS that enables sharing of the "search for" string between applications. Some applications put inappropriate content - such as Web search strings - on the Find Scrap, which can cause the "search for" string in BBEdit's Find dialog to be replaced when you didn't expect it. To tell BBEdit not to import the Find Scrap into its Find window, nor to export the "search for" string to the Find Scrap, set this to 'false'.	Default: true	Range: —
`FixedWidthFontSmoothingThreshold`integer Fixed Width Font Smoothing Threshold	integer	Whether or not BBEdit uses text smoothing - antialiasing - may be adjusted separately for fixed-width and for proportional fonts. The factory default smoothing thresholds are 8pt for fixed width fonts, and 4pt for proportional fonts, respectively.	Default: 8	Range: —
`FlashBalancePointsWhenNavigating`boolean Flash Balance Points When Navigating	boolean	When you use the right-arrow key to navigate over a closing delimiter (right paren/brace/bracket/curly quote), the opening delimiter will be briefly highlighted. If you wish to turn this off, set this preference to 'false'.	Default: true	Range: —
`FontSmoothingThreshold`integer Font Smoothing Threshold	integer	Whether or not BBEdit uses text smoothing - antialiasing - may be adjusted separately for fixed-width and for proportional fonts.

`FTPTransferTimeout`integer FTP Transfer Timeout	integer	—	Default: 30	Range: —
`FullScreenWindowsHogScreen`boolean Full Screen Windows Hog Screen	boolean	By default, the application will allow windows to take up the entire screen when entering full screen mode. If desired, you may prevent this and instruct the application to figure out whether a window should be made the full width of the screen by setting this to 'false'.	Default: true	Range: —
`FullScreenWidthThreshold`real Full Screen Width Threshold	real	When entering full screen mode, the application figures out whether the window width should be increased to take up the full screen width, or not, based on the width of the window relative to the width of the screen that it's on. The threshold at which the window is made to take up the entire screen width can be set. This setting requires that FullScreenWindowsHogScreen be turned on NEED FLOAT NUMBER MIN & MAX	Default: —	Range: 0 – 1

`HTMLImageMarkupCreatesSizeAttributes`boolean HTML Image Markup Creates Size Attributes	boolean	When you drop an image file into an HTML document to generate an image tag, BBEdit will generate "width" and "height" tags based on information in the file itself. If you would prefer to omit these, set these to 'false'.	Default: true	Range: —
`HTMLImageMarkupUseInlineStyleForImageSize`boolean HTML Image Markup Use Inline Style For Image Size	boolean	If HTMLImageMarkupCreatesSizeAttributes is turned on, you can instruct BBEdit to generate inline styles for image sizes, instead of height and width by setting this to 'true'.	Default: false	Range: —
`HTMLImageMarkupUsesFileNameForAlt`boolean HTML Image Markup Uses File Name For Alt	boolean	When generating image markup as a result of dropping an image file into an HTML document, BBEdit will generate an "alt" attribute for the image tag, whose value is the file's name. If you would prefer for the "alt" attribute to be omitted (which will result in an error when checking syntax), you can disable this by setting this to 'false'.	Default: true	Range: —
`InspectTextFileContentsForListFiltering`boolean Inspect Text File Contents For List Filtering	boolean	The "Text Files Only" filtering in project lists and disk browsers looks inside of files if necessary, for improved filtering accuracy.	Default: true	Range: —
`InspectZipArchiveContentsForFileFiltering`boolean Inspect Zip Archive Contents For File Filtering	boolean	When inspecting files to determine whether they're Zip archives for file filtering and searching, BBEdit will ordinarily only inspect the contents of the file if its metadata does not indicate that it’s a Zip archive. If for some reason you have files whose metadata indicates that they're Zip archives, but aren't really, you can use this setting to tell BBEdit to always inspect Zip archive contents.	Default: false	Range: —
`LeaveRoomForPalettes`boolean Leave Room For Palettes	boolean	—	Default: true	Range: —
`LegacyUndoSelectionBehavior`boolean Legacy Undo Selection Behavior	boolean	When performing an Undo or Redo and the selection range changes, the Undo/Redo operation will select the affected text, rather than updating the Undo/Redo state to include the actual current selection range. If however you prefer the classic behavior (as implemented from the beginning of time up through BBEdit 11.6), you may obtain set this preference to 'true'.	Default: false	Range: —

`MarkupPanelAutoPrefillRecommendedAttributeNames`boolean Markup Panel Auto Prefill Recommended Attribute Names	boolean	When you invoke the Markup Panel to create a new tag, it will automatically fill in attribute names for "promoted" attributes. If there are any attributes that you don't want to be present in the generated markup, just leave their values blank, and the panel will omit them (unless the attributes are required). If you wish, you can suppress the auto fill by setting this to 'false'. Turning off the auto fill will cause the "gear" to appear in the markup panel, and clicking it will manually fill in the promoted attributes for you.	Default: true	Range: —
`MarkupToolsMisc_SkipXMLFilesWhenScanningFolders`boolean Markup Tools Misc: Skip XML Files When Scanning Folders	boolean	When doing Check Syntax, Check Links, Update, or Update Images on a folder (including a web site), BBEdit will skip XML files (that is, files determined to be XML either by mapping their file name extensions, or by inspection of their contents). If you prefer to include such files, set this to 'false'.	Default: true	Range: —
`MaxDocumentLengthForCompletionTokenizer`integer Max Document Length For Completion Tokenizer	integer	Since "Find All Misspelled Words" is pretty much pointless on files over a certain size, the maximum amount of text checked by this command is limited to 1M - 1024 squared - characters.

`MostRecentItemsGroupLimit`integer Most Recent Items Group Limit	integer	The "Remember the … most recently used items" setting in the Application preferences applies to all item types. So, if it's set to 15, BBEdit will remember 15 text documents, 15 folders, 15 projects, 15 images, and so on. If you want finer control, you can construct an expert pref using the name of the document type as it appears in the menu, and if that name contains spaces, you'll need to quote it. You can also control the number of items shown in the "Most Recently Used" group.	Default: —	Range: —
`MoveModelessWindowToActiveSpace`boolean Move Modeless Window To Active Space	boolean	When using Spaces, you can control whether BBEdit's modeless dialog boxes - Find, Multi-File Search, and Open File by Name - get moved to the active space when switching spaces. By default, this is allowed for the Find, Multi-File Search, and Open File by Name windows. To control whether windows of these types are moved to the active space, set this to 'true'. This preference sets the default behavior for any of the defined window types for which a default is not explicitly specified.	Default: false	Range: —

`OpenItemsOnSingleClick`boolean Open Items On Single Click	boolean	—	Default: true	Range: —
`OpenPanelShowsFrontDocumentDirectory`boolean Open Panel Shows Front Document Directory	boolean	By default, the Open panel implements the standard system behavior of displaying the same folder that was viewed the last time you used the Open command. If you wish, you may instead have the Open panel display the directory containing the active document by setting this to 'true'. If the active document is untitled or was opened from an FTP/SFTP server, or if there are no documents open, the Open panel will show you the last-used directory.	Default: true	Range: —
`OpenPDFsAsText`boolean Open PDFs As Text	boolean	By default, PDFs are considered text files and so may be opened and searched along with all other text files. To have PDFs treated as a special file type - (they will be ignored for any operation that requires a text file - set this to 'false'.	Default: false	Range: —
`PerformLineFeedTranslation`boolean Perform Line Feed Translation	boolean	—	Default: true	Range: —
`PrecomposeUnicodeWhenPasting`boolean Precompose Unicode When Pasting	boolean	If you find that you frequently need to bring in text which contains combining Unicode characters (as are frequently found in PDFs generated on other platforms, for example), it can be desirable to preprocess the combining characters into one composed character where possible. This is not a general need, but if you run into it often enough, you can tell BBEdit to combine the characters for you by setting this preference to 'true'. Despite the name, the precomposition is done when BBEdit imports the Clipboard from other applications, not when the paste is actually done. Note that this requires an additional copy of the Clipboard when the application imports the text, and for very large pastes, there may be a noticeable delay while the text gets precomposed. Thus, you should only turn on this setting when you are frequently working with text that contains combining Unicode characters	Default: false	Range: —

`ProvideSTDINToUnixScripts`boolean Provide STDIN To Unix Scripts	boolean	BBEdit provides the selection range in the active document (or the active document's contents, if there is no selection) as stdin when running a Unix script or executable from the Scripts menu. If the script isn't expecting this and never reads from stdin, this can cause a problem if there is more than 64K of data provided. The result will usually be a 100032 error. If this is a regular occurrence for you, you can turn the feature off.	Default: true	Range: —
