Changing ESQL editor settings

When you open an ESQL file in the editor view, you can tailor the editor appearance by changing editor settings.

To change ESQL editor settings:

  1. Switch to the Broker Application Development perspective.
  2. Click Window > Preferences. The Preferences dialog is displayed.
  3. Expand the item for ESQL on the left and click ESQL Editor.
  4. Update the settings available for tab width and colors:
    • Click the General tab to change the displayed tab width within the ESQL editor.
    • Click the Colors tab to change the color of the editor view background, and of the entities displayed in the editor view. These include comments and keywords within your ESQL code.
  5. When you have completed your changes, click Apply to close the Preferences dialog, apply your changes and leave the Preferences dialog open. Click OK to apply your changes and close the dialog. Click Cancel to close the dialog and discard your changes.
  6. If you want to return your ESQL editor settings to the initial values, click Restore Defaults. All values are reset to the original settings.

If you change the editor settings when you have an editor session active, the changes are implemented immediately. If you do not have an editor session open, you see the changes when you next edit an ESQL file.

To change font settings for the ESQL editor:
  1. Click Window > Preferences. The Preferences dialog is displayed.
  2. Expand the item for Workbench on the left of the Preferences dialog, and click Colors and Fonts.
  3. Expand Basic in the Colors and Fonts tab
  4. Select a font or text color option and click on Change . The Font dialog will be displayed.
  5. When you have completed your changes, click Apply to close the Preferences dialog, apply your changes and leave the Preferences dialog open. Click OK to apply your changes and close the dialog. Click Cancel to close the dialog and discard your changes.
  6. If you want to return your ESQL editor settings to the initial values, click Restore Defaults.
