• Remember Caret

When enabled and when its window gets the focus, each editor will

restore the caret position to the place where it was when it last

lost focus (instead of where the mouse clicks).

When the mouse button is released, the caret is free to be repositioned.

Enabling this feature substantially helps in the navigation of surrounding

input to output code when resolving errors.

In general, when enabled, the last caret position becomes a bookmark

to possibly important locations.

• Show All Metrics

When enabled, the Format Metrics category in the Properties Pane

displays all key counters available.

When disabled, only the key’s that have values are (dynamically)

displayed.
