how to hide the text limit line in netbeans 6.5?

Question

Is there a way to hide the text limit line in netbeans 6.5?

Answer 1

Are you talking about the line running thru the right side, by default at the 80 column point? That is Options -> Editor -> Indentation -> Right margin. I have it set at 200 columns which pushes it off the right side of the screen.

Answer 2

Hej, for me setting it to 200 columns doesn't push it of the screen. I am using a proportional font, the line is still annoying.

Answer 3

line is not moving to 200 column, but you can hide it setting its color to same as the background

Answer 4

Hi~ I found out how to hide "Text limit line" :)

1. Tools -> Options -> Export(Popup Win) -> Browse.. (Select target "ccc.zip" file) Select Options for Export : Check at "Editor" -> OK

2. Edit xml file "\Editors\Preferences\org-netbeans-modules-editor-settings-CustomPreferences.xml" in "ccc.zip" file.

   <entry javaType="java.lang.Boolean" name="text-limit-line-visible" xml:space="preserve">
   <value><![CDATA[false]]></value></entry>
   

3. Tools -> Options -> Import "ccc.zip" file

Done

Answer 5

In NetBeans 6.9, setting Right Margin to 0 effectively hides the text limit line.
Set the value in Preferences > Editor > Formatting > All Languages > Right Margin.
