# Editor Options: General

This tab enables you to customize the global settings for braces matching, camel case, and editor search.

This panel has the following elements:

Element | Description
--- | ---
Braces Matching | Matching braces in a source code. Options are:
Show outline | When selected, the bracket that matches the bracket selected in the source code is highlighted in the editor.
Show tooltips | If you select a brace in the editor and the opening brace of the selected brace is outside of the viewable area of the editor, the opening brace is displayed above the editor area as a tooltip.
Camel Case Behavior | When Enable Camel Case Navigation is selected, the caret stops at capital letters when you use the next/previous word commands, for example, at "J", "T", and "N", in "JavaTypeName".
Editor Search Behavior | Lets you modify the editor search bar behavior. Options are:
Enter to find next | Select to switch the editor search bar behavior to Firefox style: after Enter is pressed, the next occurrence of the searched text is found and the caret is moved. Pressing the Esc button closes the search bar.
Enter to finish search | Select to switch the editor search bar behavior to vi style: after Enter is pressed, the next occurrence of the searched text is found, the cursor is moved, and the search bar is closed. Pressing the Esc button closes the search bar immediately. The search is also closed if the search bar goes out of focus (for example, the focus is moved to the editor).
