That sounds like it would be a very nice change. The option you want is in the view menu.

Re: [racket-users] Room for descriptions
BTW, since you are looking at the preferences, I wish there was a way to have automatic conversion of square brackets to parentheses *always*. That is, I don't want square brackets in my racket code, but I like the convenience of typing them over typing parentheses. Looks like a combination of preferences that should be there, but it's not. Like the automatic square brackets that we have now with an empty keywords table. I'm not manually clearing the keywords table because sometimes I happen to edit code written by others which use the square brackets. Cheers P.
