Introduction
You can define the code styles that differ from the pre-defined ones. These code style schemes are stored in XML
files, in the config/codestyles folder under the user home directory.
You can use the created copy for modifying code styles, and for export.
If you select a code style scheme other than Project, then this code style will be saved for a project. Thus you can assign a global (IDE) code style for each project.

- In the Code Style page, select the desired scheme from the drop-down list,
and click
. - From the drop-down list, select one of the following options:

.ideadirectory in the filecodeStyleSettings.xml. - Duplicate - select this option to simply make a copy of the selected scheme and store it in the same level.
