You can put the following variables within the <Dict> node of the EditorialConfig configuration file. For instructions, see Adding or overriding variables in your EditorialConfig.

Find the actual values of such variables in EditorialConfig item in EdAdmin4, the Application Configuration > Client Applications, searching for EditorialConfig. The data is common for all titles in the system.

Should you need to specify different values of variables for different typographies, look for instructions at the Typography-dependent overridable variables.

You can select how GN4 will act, related to the top of the text position, when resizing a highlighted block of text by keys. A global variable glbKeepCharTopPos has the default value "1" that means keep the top position. Other available values are: "2"=Do not keep (as per compatibility with previous versions). To change the value in "EditorialConfig", add the line <Item Name="glbKeepCharTopPos" Value="XXX" /> replacing "XXX" with "1" or "2". Moreover, on the Increments tab of the Extra preferences, there is a new user preference that allows to users to select Use System Default, Keep, Do not keep, overriding the system default.
