The following options are configurable in TIKE in the Editor tab:
General
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Show splash screen | If checked, displays a splash screen when TIKE is started. |
| Check file associations | If checked, makes sure that .kmn and .kps files are opened with TIKE. |
| External Editor | You can open any Keyman source file shown in the project in an external text editor by right-clicking on the file and selecting "Open in External Editor". The files available for editing externally are .kmn, .kps and .kpp. .kct and .kvk files are in a binary format and cannot be edited outside the TIKE environment. This field configures which editor you wish to use to edit the files. Note: if you need to pass command line parameters to the editor, you will need to wrap the command in a batch file and reference the batch file here. |

Character Map
| Setting | Description |

| Disable database lookups | Disables looking characters up in the database. |
| Rebuild database | Rebuilds the Unicode character database from source unicodedata.txt and blocks.txt. These files can be downloaded from the Unicode website at http://www.unicode.org/ucd/.
