place multiple instances of a component without having to press the
"Apply" button each time. Since 1.9.10. |

enabled. Since 1.9.10. |
enforce-hierarchy | ‘boolean’ | ‘true’ | Controls if the movement between hierarchy levels of the same
underlying schematics is allowed or not. If this is enabled, then the

cursor position when drawing a net. Since 1.9.10. |
zoom-gain | ‘int’ | ‘20’ | The percentage size increase/decrease when zooming in/out with the
mouse wheel. Negative values reverses the direction. Since 1.9.10. |

provides greater pan distance when moving the mouse. Since 1.9.10. |

larger value provides greater pan distance. Since 1.9.10. |
select-slack-pixels | ‘int’ | ‘10’ | Controls how many pixels around an object can still be clicked as part
of that object. A larger value gives greater ease in selecting small,
or narrow objects. Since 1.9.10. |
text-size | ‘int’ | ‘10’ | Sets the default text size. Since 1.9.10. |
snap-size | ‘int’ | ‘10’ | Sets the default grid spacing. Since 1.9.10. |
scrollpan-steps | ‘int’ | ‘8’ | Controls the number of scroll pan events required to traverse the
viewed schematic area. Larger numbers mean more scroll steps are
required to pan across the viewed area and giving finer control over
positioning. Since 1.9.10. |
dots-grid-dot-size | ‘int’ | ‘1’ | Controls the size of the grid dots (in pixels) in the dots grid
display. Since 1.9.10. |
dots-grid-fixed-threshold | ‘int’ | ‘10’ | Specifies the minimum number of pixels for the grid to be displayed.
Controls the density of the displayed grid (smaller numbers will cause
the grid to be drawn denser). This option is only effective when the
dots-grid-mode is set to "fixed". Since 1.9.10. |
mesh-grid-display-threshold | ‘int’ | ‘3’ | Specifies the minimum line pitch for the grid to be displayed.
Controls the maximum density of the displayed grid before the minor,
then the major grid lines are switched off. Since 1.9.10. |
action-feedback-mode | ‘string’ | ‘outline’ | Possible values: ‘outline’, ‘boundingbox’. Sets the
default action feedback mode for copy, move, and component place
operations. When set to ‘boundingbox’, just a box surrounding
objects is drawn, which is much faster. It may help with slow
hardware. Since 1.9.10. |
text-caps-style | ‘string’ | ‘both’ | Possible values: ‘both’, ‘lower’, ‘upper’. Sets the
default caps style used for the input of text. Since 1.9.10. |

the type of the grid. Since 1.9.10. |
dots-grid-mode | ‘string’ | ‘variable’ | Possible values: ‘variable’, ‘fixed’. Controls the mode
of the dotted grid. In the ‘variable’ mode, the grid spacing
changes depending on the zoom factor. In the ‘fixed’ mode, the
grid always represents the same number of units as the
snap-spacing. You can control the density of the grid using the
dots-grid-fixed-threshold option. Since 1.9.10. |
net-selection-mode | ‘string’ | ‘enabled_net’ | Possible values: ‘enabled_net’, ‘enabled_all’,
‘disabled’. Controls how many net segments are selected when
you click at a net:
