This issue covers the changes in editor necessary for migration to the new options. 1) Additionaly there will be "Show editor toolbar" global property under the current "Editor" node. 2) There is a huge number of expert properties (currently shown under the Expert tab in the properties for the particular editor). They will be shown in the "Advanced options". 3) Color property editor should allow the alpha channel to be specified. This is something the editor already supports and I guess only editor can benefit from it. Not sure whether there should be one common color property editor or whether there should be a specialized one for the editor colors. 4) Antialiasing and fractional metrics options will be added. This is something that should appear in NB4.0 5) Inheritance of fonts and colors. In the current Fonts&Colors you can choose the "Inherit" checkbox to inherit the color/font from the default coloring. The new options will offer the "Default" to be used to inherit the font/color 6) Token colorings; the current plan assumes that Under "Display Items" in the "Fonts and Colors" there will be e.g. JSP: Tag, Java: Keyword, HTML: comment etc. However there can be hundreds of tokens so the plain listbox can become hardly manageable.
Additionally the Macro editing panel will contain the additional column for the keybinding. Although the macro can have more than one keybinding there is almost always just one so it will be more appropriate for the user who will (thank to this) see the shortcuts for all the displayed macros immediately.
Changing subcomponent to settings.
