Description Felipe Heidrich

We should have a preference page for the editor:

some of the options that should be available (easy):
tab size
expand tab
folding
line number
caret line
drag drop
etc

Appearance (harder):
Implementation wise the appearance is defined by the CSS, thus changing the appearance means changing the CSS (adding or customizing a theme, see Bug 334212).

That said simple use cases like setting font size and font name could have a simpler UI (something easier than changing/creating a theme).

An advance option should also be available, to present all css classes. The user can edit the styles to customize keywords/annotation/etc and save it as a new theme.

Looks like a duplicate of bug 349442?

I think it's worth to have this (editor specific) in a separated bug.

See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=349096#c11
Maybe the line delimiter can also be defined in preferences page.
Ideally line delimiter should be the same across all the committer of a project, maybe this is a shared 'project preference'.
Likewise, tab size and expand tab (and others) should be shared across the project.

See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=365216#c6
Some of the jslint options could also be preferences. Again, maybe at the project level.

Anton I know you have done some of these but here are some other editor preferences we can expose. I know tab size and expanding tabs are two popular ones.

Fixed at the high-level -- we might need smaller more focused bugs to look at details
