The IDE Preferences window (

explains the items of this window. These preferences, unless superseded by a Target Settings option, apply to every open project file. Select Edit > Preferences to open the IDE
Preferences window.
The IDE Preferences window lists preferences by group:
• General—configures overall IDE preferences, such as project builds, recent items, and third-party tools
• Editor—configures editor preferences, such as fonts, tabs, and syntax coloring
• Debugger—configures debugger preferences, such as window hiding during debugging sessions, low-level interactions, and variable highlighting
