Delay after the last key event (s)

The period of keyboard inactivity which starts a new validation (in seconds).

Maximum number of errors reported per document

If there are many validation errors the process of marking them in the document is long. You should limit the maximum number of reported errors with this setting to keep the time for error marking short

Validation warning highlight color

The color used to mark validation warnings in the document.

Validation success color

The color used to mark the success of the validation in the vertical ruler bar.

Always show validation status

If this option is checked the line at the bottom of the editor panel which presents the message of the current validation error is always visible. This is useful to avoid scrolling problems when Validate as you type is enabled and the vertical scroll bar may change position when the document is edited and the line with the validation error message is made visible.
