Tab Key Action

Defines the action of the Tab key, one of: "Default for Personality" to emulate the selected Keyboard Personality. "Indent To Match" to indent the current line or selected line(s) to match the context, "Move to Next Tab Stop" to enter indentation characters so the caret reaches the next tab stop, "Indent Region" to increase the indentation of the selected line(s) by one level, or "Insert Tab Character" to insert a Tab character (chr(9)).

Alt Key

Selects the key to use as the Alt- modifier in key bindings. Note that the Option key is also used to enter characters, such as ® on US keyboards or ] on German keyboards. When the Option key is used for the Alt key, Alt-key bindings take precedence and thus may block entering of characters with the Option key. If both functions are needed, use the left Option key for the Alt-key and enter characters with the right Option key. If the Command keys are used for the Alt key, any Alt-key bindings will override Command-key bindings for the same key.

Default Value: left-option-key

Fallback to Mac OS key bindings

Internal Name: guimgr.fallback-to-macos-keymap

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: True

Use Alt Key Only for Underlined Alt- Accelerators

Specifies whether Alt keystrokes should be used only for accelerators. When enabled, Alt-key presses will never be used for key bindings and pressing the Alt key alone will shift focus to the menu bar. This preference is ignored when Wing is running with native macOS display style, since in that case Alt- accelerators do not exist.

Internal Name: gui.qt-os-alt-for-accelerators

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: False

Always Underline Alt- Accelerators

Whether to underline Alt key accelerators even if the Alt has not been pressed.

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: False

Custom Key Bindings

Override key bindings in the keymap. To enter the key, place focus on the entry area and type the key combination desired. The command is one of those documented in the user manual's Command Reference, or the name of any user scripts that have been loaded into the IDE. Leave the command name blank to remove the default binding for a key (this is useful when adding multi-key bindings that conflict with a default).

Internal Name: gui.keymap-override

Data Specification: [dict; keys: <type str>, values: <type str>]

Default Value: {}

Typing Group Timeout

Sets the timeout in seconds to use for typing, after which keys pressed are considered a separate group of characters. This is used for typing-to-select on lists and in other GUI areas. Before the timeout subsequent keys are added to previous ones to refine the selection during keyboard navigation.

Internal Name: gui.typing-group-timeout

Data Specification: <type float>, <type int>

Default Value: 1

VI Mode Ctrl-C/X/V

Controls the behavior of the Ctrl-X/C/V key bindings in vi mode. Either always use these for cut/copy/paste, use them for vi native actions such as initiate-numeric-repeat and start-select-rectangle, or use the default by system (clipboard on win32 and other commands elsewhere).

Internal Name: vi-mode.clipboard-bindings

Data Specification: [system-default, clipboard, other]

Default Value: system-default

Auto-save Perspectives

Selects whether to auto-save perspectives when switching to another perspective. Can always auto-save, never auto-save, prompt each time a perspective is left, or auto-save as configured on a per-perspective basis.

Internal Name: main.perspective-auto-save

Data Specification: [tuple length 2 of: [always, never, prompt, choose], <type str>]

Default Value: always

Shared Perspective File

Selects the file to use for storing and retrieving shared perspectives. By default (when value is None) the file 'perspectives' in the user settings directory is used.

Data Specification: [one of: <type NoneType>, <type str>]

Default Value: None

Key Map File

Defines location of the keymap override file. Use None for default according to configured editor personality.

File Filters

Defines file filters to apply to file names for inclusion and exclusion from a larger set (such as scanned disk files or all project files).

Each filter is named and contains one list of inclusion patterns and one list of exclusion patterns. The patterns can be a wildcard on the file name, wildcard on a directory name, or a mime type name.

Only a single pattern needs to be matched for inclusion or exclusion. Exclusion patterns take precedence over inclusion patterns, so any match on an exclusion pattern will always exclude a file from the selected set. Filters are used in constraining search, adding project files, and for other operations on collections of files.

Internal Name: main.file-filters

If unspecified then Wing will use the configured URL viewer in the environment (specified by BROWSER environment variable or by searching the path for common browsers). On Windows, the default viewer for the file type is used instead so this preference is ignored. On macOS, files are opened with "open" by default so this preference is rarely needed.

Default Value: False

Report Exceptions

Controls how Wing reports exceptions that are raised by your debug process. By default, Wing shows exceptions at the time that the exception traceback would normally be printed. Alternatively, Wing can try to predict which exceptions are unhandled, and stop immediately when unhandled exceptions are raised so that any finally clauses can be stepped through in the debugger. Wing can also stop on all exceptions (even if handled) immediately when they are raised, or it can wait to report fatal exceptions as the debug process terminates. In the latter case Wing makes a best effort to stop before the debug process exits or at least to report the exception post-mortem, but one or both may fail if working with externally launched debug processes. In that case, we recommend using When Printed exception reporting mode.

Internal Name: debug.exception-mode

Defines the length over which a string is considered too large to fetch for display in the debugger. If this is set too large, the debugger will time out (see the Network Timeout preference).

Internal Name: debug.huge-string-threshold

Data Specification: <type int>

Default Value: 64000

Show Data Warnings

Controls whether or not time out, huge value, and error handling value errors are displayed by the debugger the first time they are encountered in each run of Wing.

Internal Name: debug.show-debug-data-warnings

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 1

Omit Types

Lists types for which values are never shown by the debugger. The strings here are compared with type(value).__name__ and the value is omitted if a match is found.

Internal Name: debug.omit-types

Data Specification: [tuple of: <type str>]

Default Value: ('function', 'builtin_function_or_method', 'class', 'classobj', 'instance method', 'type', 'module', 'ufunc', 'cython_function_or_method', 'wrapper_descriptor', 'method_descriptor', 'methoddescriptor', 'member_descriptor', 'classmethod', 'staticmethod')

Omit Names

Defines variable/key names for which values are never shown by the debugger.

Internal Name: debug.omit-names

Data Specification: [tuple of: <type str>]

Default Value: ()

Do Not Expand

Lists types for which values should never be probed for contents. These are types that are known to crash when the debugger probes them because they contain buggy data value extraction code. These values are instead shown as an opaque value with hex object instance id and are never accessed for runtime introspection. The strings here are compared with type(value).__name__ and a value is not probed if a match is found.

Internal Name: debug.no-probe-types

Data Specification: [tuple of: <type str>]

Default Value: ('GdkColormap', 'IOBTree', 'JPackage', 'cython_function_or_method')

Resolve Properties

Set to show property values in the debug data views. This should be used with caution. It enables invocation of the fget() method on the property, which in some code bases can execute unwanted code, make unexpected changes to runtime state, hang on lengthy computations, trigger thread deadlocks, or crash on buggy user code while debug data is being displayed in the IDE.

Internal Name: debug.resolve-properties

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: False

Allow Calls in Data Inspection

Enable to allow Python code and other dynamic calls to be invoked while inspecting data in the debugger, for display in any part of the IDE's user interface. This should be used with caution because it can cause the debug process to execute unwanted code, make unexpected changes to runtime state, hang on lengthy computations, deadlock threads, or crash in buggy code.

Internal Name: debug.allow-dynamic-introspection

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: False

Call Python ____repr____ Methods

Allow __repr__ methods implemented in Python to be invoked. Disable this if the __repr__ methods take too long to complete or fail due to other bugs.

Internal Name: debug.allow-bytecode-repr

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: True

Inspect Base Classes

Whether to inspect base classes for class attributes. Disable this to work around crashing in packages such as openerp and odoo.

Internal Name: debug.max-base-classes

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: True

Accept Debug Connections

Controls whether or not the debugger listens for connections from an externally launched program. This should be enabled when the debug program is not launched by the IDE.

Internal Name: debug.passive-listen

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 0

Kill Externally Launched Processes

Enable or disable terminating debug processes that were launched from outside of the IDE. When disabled, Wing just detaches from the process, leaving it running.

Internal Name: debug.enable-kill-external

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 0

Server Host

Determines the network interface on which the debugger listens for connections. This can be a symbolic name, an IP address, or left unspecified to indicate that the debugger should listen on all valid network interfaces on the machine. Note that when a debug session is launched from within the IDE (with the Run button), it always connects from the loopback interface (127.0.0.1)

Internal Name: debug.network-server

Data Specification: [None or <type str>]

Default Value: None

Server Port

Determines the TCP/IP port on which the IDE will listen for the connection from the debug process. This needs to be unique for each developer working on a given host. The debug process, if launched from outside of the IDE, needs to be told the value specified here using kWingHostPort inside wingdbstub.py or by WINGDB_HOSTPORT environment variable before importing wingdbstub in the debug process.

Internal Name: debug.network-port

Data Specification: [from 0 to 65535]

Default Value: 50005

Use Digests to Identify Files

Controls whether to build an inferred location map from file digest matches that are found locally when debugging files on a remote host. This allows the debugger to find files that are not in the project and were not found to be imported by static analysis, or that are still waiting to be scanned.

Internal Name: debug.use-digests-to-identify-files

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: True

Warn About Ambigious Digest Matches

Controls whether to show a dialog when the debugger detects a remote file that matches more than one local file.

Internal Name: debug.show-multiple-local-files

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: True

Location Map

Defines a mapping between the remote and local locations of files for host-to-host debugging. This is used only for manual remote debug configuration and is ignored when debug is controlled by a remote host configuration. For each specific IP address or IP address with wildcards (e.g. 10.1.1.*), a remote and local prefix is given. This should be used when full paths of files on the remote host do not match those for the same files on the local host. Wing assumes an external file server or synchronization protocol is in use and does not itself transfer the files.

Internal Name: debug.location-map

Data Specification: [dict; keys: <ip4 address #.#.#.#>, values: [None or [list of: [tuple length 2 of: <type str>, <type str>]]]]

Default Value: {'127.0.0.1': None}

Connection Keep Alive

Number of seconds between keep-alive messages sent to the debug process so that the connection doesn't close due to inactivity. Use a value <= 0 to disable the sending of keep-alive messages

Internal Name: debug.send-keep-alive-seconds

Data Specification: <type int>

Default Value: 60

Network Timeout

Controls the amount of time that the IDE will wait for the debug process to respond before it gives up. This protects the IDE from freezing up if your program running within the debug process crashes or becomes unavailable. It must also be taken into account when network connections are slow or if sending large data values (see the Huge List Threshold and Hug String Threshold preferences).

Internal Name: debug.network-timeout

Data Specification: <type float>, <type int>

Default Value: 20

Close Connection on Timeout

Controls whether the debugger will close the connection after any data handling timeout. This reduces the potential for hanging on data handling issues, but increases the chances the debug connection will be unnecessarily closed if any inspection of data takes more than the configured timeout to complete.

Internal Name: debug.close-on-timeout

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 0

Allowed Hosts

Sets which hosts are allowed to connect to the debugger when it is listening for externally launched programs. Host names, specific IP numbers, or IP number dotted quad masks with * to match anything (e.g. 10.1.1.*) may be used. This is used only for manual remote debug configuration and is ignored when debug is controlled by a remote host configuration.

Internal Name: debug.passive-hosts

Data Specification: [tuple of: <type str>]

Default Value: ('*.*.*.*',)

Common Attach Hosts

List of host/port combinations that should be included by default in the attach request list shown with Attach to Process in the Debug menu, in addition to those that are registered at runtime. These are used primarily with manual remote debug configuration, and are not necessary when debug is controlled by a remote host configuration. This value corresponds with kAttachPort configured in wingdbstub.py or by WINGDB_ATTACHPORT environment variable before importing wingdbstub in the debug process.

Internal Name: debug.attach-defaults

Data Specification: [tuple of: [tuple length 2 of: <type str>, [from 0 to 65535]]]

Default Value: (('127.0.0.1', 50015),)

Internal Name: debug.pretty-print-in-shells

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: False

Auto-Restart when Switch Projects

Auto-restart the Python Shell when changing projects. When this is disabled, the Python Shell will continue to use environment from the previously opened project.

Internal Name: debug.shell-auto-restart-proj-switch

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 1

Auto-Restart when Evaluate File

Auto-restart the Python Shell before a file is evaluated within it. When this is disabled, be aware that previously defined symbols will linger in the Python Shell environment.

Internal Name: debug.shell-auto-restart-before-eval

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 1

Prompt to Confirm Restart

Whether to prompt when restarting the Python Shell as a result of restarting debugging.

Internal Name: debug.prompt-to-restart-python-shell-debug

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: True

Filter History by Entered Prefix

Enable to filter shell history traversal when something is entered prior to starting traversal. When enabled, Wing will only show history items starting with the text between the start of the current item and the caret.

Internal Name: debug.filter-shell-history

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: False

Evaluate Only Whole Lines

Evaluate whole lines from editor rather than the exact selection, when a selection from the editor is sent to the Python Shell tool.

Internal Name: debug.shell-eval-whole-lines

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 0

Execute Pasted Lines in Shells Immediately

Whether to always execute immediately after text is pasted into a shell. Note that if the number of lines exceed the pasted line threshold, the lines are immediately executed.

Internal Name: debug.shell-always-execute-on-paste

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: False

Show Editor on Exceptions in Shells

Controls whether the debugger raises source files to indicate exception locations encountered when working in the Debug Console, and other debugger tools.

Internal Name: debug.raise-from-tools

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 1

Shells Ignore Editor Modes

Set to False so that shells will act modal in the same way as editors when working with a modal key bindings such as that for VI. When True, the shells always act as if in Insert mode.

Internal Name: debug.shells-ignore-editor-modes

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 1

Termination Model

How to terminate debug when a parent process or child process is terminated. A process group includes any all parent and child processes, up to the initially launched process, including also grand-children and any other descendent process.

Internal Name: debug.multi-process-kill-model

Data Specification: [leave-running, auto-kill-group, prompt]

Default Value: auto-kill-group

Ignore Unsynchronized Files

Controls whether or not Wing ignores files that were not saved before starting debug or that have changed since they were loaded by the debug process. Wing normally will warn of unsynchronized files since breakpoints may not be reached and stepping through the files may not work properly if lines have moved. Checking this option turns off these warnings.

Internal Name: gui.ignore-unsaved-before-action

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 0

Step Past importlib Frames

Controls where Wing ignores code inside of Python's importlib machinery when stepping through code. When enabled, Step Into on an import statement continues until it reaches the top level of the module being imported (or results in ImportError or moves past the import if the module was already imported), and Step Out will skip over frames in importlib.

Internal Name: debug.ignore-import-lib

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 1

Use sys.stdin Wrapper

Whether sys.stdin should be set a wrapper object for user input in the program being debugged. The wrapper allows debug commands, such as pause, to be executed while the program is waiting for user input. The wrapper may cause problems with multi-threaded programs that use C stdio functions to read directly from stdin and will be slower than the normal file object.However, turning this preference off means that your debug process will not pause or accept breakpoint changes while waiting for keyboard input, and any keyboard input that occurs as a side effect of commands typed in the Debug Console will happen in unmodified stdin instead (even though output will still appear in the Debug Console as always).

Internal Name: debug.use-stdin-wrapper

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 1

When Build Fails

Controls whether to start debugging if the defined build process fails

Internal Name: debug.debug-if-build-fails

Data Specification: [None, 0, 1]

Default Value: None

Default Watch Style

Sets the tracking style used when a value is double clicked in order to watch it. Values may be tracked by symbolic name, by object reference and attribute by name, and by direct object reference.

Internal Name: debug.default-watch-style

Data Specification: [symbolic, parent-ref, ref]

Default Value: symbolic

Move Breakpoints to Valid Lines

Whether to automatically move breakpoints to a valid position when they are placed on a line that will not be reached by the Python interpreter, such as within certain types of multi-line expressions.

Internal Name: debug.move-breakpoints

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 1

Show Breaks Moved Dialog

Whether to show a dialog when a breakpoint is set on a different line than the selected on.

Internal Name: debug.show-breaks-moved-message

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 1

Use Idle Thread

Controls whether to use a thread in the debugger for idle processing.

Internal Name: debug.use-legacy-tracer-core

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: False

Debug Internals Log File

This is used to obtain verbose information about debugger internals in cases where you are having problems getting debugging working. The resulting log file can be emailed to support@wingware.com along with your bug report for interpretation. Logging can be disabled, or sent to stderr, stdout, or a file. When enabled, the debugger will run more slowly.

Internal Name: debug.logfile

Data Specification: [one of: None, [<stderr>, <stdout>], <type str>]

Default Value: None

Extremely Verbose Internal Log

This is used to turn on very verbose and detailed logging from the debugger. This should only be enabled at the request of Wingware Technical Support and will drastically slow down the debugger.

Internal Name: debug.very-verbose-log

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: False

Python Shell Debug Log

This is used to obtain verbose information about the Python Shell internals in cases where you are having problems getting it working. The resulting log file can be emailed to support@wingware.com along with your bug report for interpretation. Logging can be disabled, or sent to stderr, stdout, or a file. When enabled, the Python Shell will run more slowly.

Internal Name: debug.shell-logfile

Data Specification: [one of: None, [<stderr>, <stdout>], <type str>]

Default Value: None

Extremely Verbose Python Shell Debug Log

This is used to turn on very verbose and detailed logging from the Python Shell internals. This should only be enabled at the request of Wingware Technical Support and will drastically slow down the Python Shell.

Internal Name: pysource.scrape-modules

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: True

Scraping Helper Snippets

Default Value: True

Remote Development

SSH Implementation

The SSH implementation to use for remote development. This is used to launch Wing's remote agent and to establish secure SSH tunnels for debugging on remote systems. When searching on the PATH, Wing will look for OpenSSH's ssh. If it cannot be found, the built-in SSH implementation is used instead.

Internal Name: main.ssh-executable

Internal Name: main.write-remote-log-to-ide-log

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: False

IDE Extension Scripting

Auto-Reload Scripts on Save

When enabled, Wing will automatically reload scripts that extend the IDE when they are edited and saved from the IDE. This makes developing extension scripts for the IDE very fast, and should work in most cases. Disable this when working on extension scripts that do not reload properly, such as those that reach through the scripting API extensively.

Internal Name: main.auto-reload-scripts

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: True

Search Path

Specifies the directories in which Wing will look for user-defined scripts that extend the functionality of the IDE itself. The directory names may contain environment variables in the $(envname) form. Use $(WING:PROJECT_DIR) for the project directory.For each directory, Wing will load all found Python modules and packages, treating any function whose name starts with a letter (not _ or __) as a script-provided command. Extension scripts found in files within directories later in the list will override scripts of the same name found earlier, except that scripts can never override commands that are defined internally in Wing itself (these are documented in the Command Reference in the users manual). See the Scripting and Extending chapter of the manual for more information on writing and using extension scripts.
