# Miscellanous Options ``` Editor A text editor is to be used when the user decides to edit an IDC script using the IDC toolbar. ``` Navigation band refresh interval (milliseconds) ``` Specifies how often the navigation band will be refreshed. IDA tries to minimize the number of redrawings because they could be really time and processor consuming (imagine a huge program, 50-100 megabytes of code. it would take a long time to refresh information on the navigation band because the whole program will be examined to determine how to draw the band). If this option is set to 0, the navigation band is refreshed only when the cursor is moved far enough to reflect its movement on the band. ``` Convert already defined bytes ``` Determines how IDA should behave when user operations would end up redefining some already-defined bytes ``` Associate .IDB file extension with IDA ``` Whether or not the .IDB extension should be associated, at the OS-level, with IDA ``` Enable autocomplete in forms ``` Determines whether input fields should provide an auto-complete combo box by default ``` Output files encoding ``` The encoding used to generate output text files from IDA The value '' means that the IDB's default 8 bit-per-unit encoding will be used. ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
