Setting description


Scale factor

The field allows you to set the coefficient of increasing or decreasing the image in the window.

To set the coefficient, enter a number from 1 to 100. The image scale is changed by pressing the key combinations <Ctrl>+<+> and <Ctrl>+<-> respectively or by rotating the mouse wheel with the <Ctrl> key pressed.

Cancellation of operations


Number of steps backwards

The field allows you to set the number of operations that can be canceled and repeated during operation. Increasing this value increases the amount of system resources (memory) to support the list of executed operations, so the number of steps should be reasonable. It is recommended to set the number in the range from 10 to 30.


Group similar operations

The option allows you to cancel the same type of actions as a single action. Examples of single-type actions are entering the same character, moving the cursor in the same direction. When this option is enabled, all actions of the same type are canceled or repeated at once. When the option is disabled, actions are canceled or repeated one by one.
