The Options window, should similar and consistent to the Project properties. This is not only to make it consistent, it is a UX Thing, because now you can’t see the Options and Sub Options of each Option. But sure this is an other Topic. But I saw this discussion here and wanted to jump in.

There are lot of Options missing (Change Code completion dleay e.g.). So we can’t fit any Needs, but we can customize a lot of Features via Options, but the current Option window is not good to have this. This is where we should care About. Look at other IDEs or Editors, they have a lot of Options to customize your stuff. Cheers Chris Von: Geertjan Wielenga Gesendet: Sonntag, 13.

We don't want to overload the IDE with UI. However, at the same time, I don't see there being hundreds of requests for new configuration options, instead, I have seen about three or four coming up again and again, really, in total, in all the time I have been working on NetBeans since 2004. And this caret thing is one of them. So, it's not that bad, we're not being asked for much more than we already have, though this caret thing is one of them, I think it would be handy to have this one somewhere in the Options window, maybe within an existing panel rather than a whole new one which I think would be adding too much for this.
