Editing line height in Brackets

Hi guys,

Please help me with editing the line height of the code in brackets. Sublime has this option and it makes the code really readable.

I am not sure if it is line height or margin before and after per line of code that I should edit. And I searched the internet how to do it but I haven't found any concrete source that would teach me how.

Anyone?

Oh... I didn't even know that program existed!

It looks like the only way you can achieve what you are looking for in Brackets is to go to 'File > Extension Manager > Themes' and then try out some of the themes there. I tried a few and the 'Newton Light' theme had the best line spacing I could find. You might be able to make your own theme as I am assuming you want to have full control over your line spacing.

Yup it really has a nicer line height. Thanks! I will try to look around for how to adjust this in the core.

Are you wanting to increase the spacing between lines of code in workspaces?

Unfortunately there isn't really a way to do this. You can go to view menu and increase the font size which will in turn increase the line height.

Hi Justin,

Yes and no. Yes, I want to increase the line height to give a bit more spacing in between lines of code but I am talking about brackets - the open source editor made by adobe.

Find the installation folder of Bracket ..Ex C:\Program Files (x86)\Brackets\www\styles Open brackets.min.css \ Edit .CodeMirror line-height accordingly to your personal preference.

I have bracket in my Macbook pro and Windows machine . If you are using windows, I recommend you boot up in safe mode to make changes to the style-sheet. It would help you bypass any required permission.

Good luck!
