Fine-tune the behavior and appearance of your text editor.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does the font size affect my teammates' view?
   No. What you specify in your user settings only changes your personal view of the code editor.

2. Can I have different settings for different projects?
   Currently, Editor Settings are global to your user profile and will apply across all your Codesphere workspaces.
