Text Editor line breaks [message #335573]

Hello.

Is there a way to specify what line beaks the Text Editor uses (Windows
vs Unix)?
I often create and edit files on my Unix server with the help of the
Remote System Explorer from a Windows machine. Those files automatically
use Windows line breaks (\n\r) and I see no option in the preferences to
change that.

Cheerio,
Kai

Does changing General > Workspace > "New text file line delimiter" help?
