Represents options to configure the behavior of showing a {@link TextDocument document} in an {@link TextEditor editor}.

Fields

@:optionaloptionalviewColumn:Null<ViewColumn>

An optional view column in which the {@link TextEditor editor} should be shown. The default is the {@link ViewColumn.Active active}. Columns that do not exist will be created as needed up to the maximum of {@linkcode ViewColumn.Nine}. Use {@linkcode ViewColumn.Beside} to open the editor to the side of the currently active one.

@:optionaloptionalselection:Null<Range>

An optional selection to apply for the document in the {@link TextEditor editor}.

@:optionaloptionalpreview:Null<Bool>

An optional flag that controls if an {@link TextEditor editor}-tab shows as preview. Preview tabs will be replaced and reused until set to stay - either explicitly or through editing.

Note that the flag is ignored if a user has disabled preview editors in settings.

@:optionaloptionalpreserveFocus:Null<Bool>

An optional flag that when true will stop the {@link TextEditor editor} from taking focus.
