I am used to a certain style of code formatting including coloring etc.
Now I am strugglking again to find where one sets these items...

It is not obvious to me but I know I have gotten advice before but I cannot find it again.

So: when a property of an item is completed the IDE puts =; after the item. Like so:
TS.Active:=;

The 3 last chars are entered by Lazarus when I select the Active word in the drop-down that appears.

I want it to look like this inmstead:

TS.Active := ;
So I want to have a space both before and after :=
How can that be done?

The closest I get is Options/CodeTools/Space
But no matter if I check or uncheck the box before "Colon" there is no space added.

Where can I locate this setting (the working one)?

Insert space before "Symbol".
":" and ":=" are different tokens.

Where can I locate this setting (the working one)?

So "Symbol" is a generic term in this case?
It solved the problem when completing the call to a method of the object. :)

I removed the add space before Comma and Semicolon too. Now working much better!
Thanks!
