Of course :-) I was looking at the stuff in cui for adding an option
somewhere, is that the correct place to be looking? Also I'm not sure
if the basic ide deserves its own entire category for options yet as I
think this is the first configurable thing about the basic ide.

This was my first reaction but I couldn't find anything on my first
pass through; I'll definitely take a deeper look.

I'd love to but I'm not exactly sure how. Currently I have it as a local branch.
