Parameters

default If you specify the default parameter for the set findText.startColumn command, the current view will use the value of default.findText.startColumn for column-restricted searches with the findText command.
n If you specify the n parameter for the set findText.startColumn command, the findText command will use n as the start column for column-restricted searches within the current view. If you specify the n parameter for the set default.findText.startColumn command, the findText command will use n as the start column for column-restricted searches within all document views that have the findText.startColumn set to default.
install If you specify the install parameter for the set default.findText.startColumn command, all views with findText.startColumn set to default will use the value of install.findText.startColumn to determine the start column to be used by the findText command for column-restricted searches.

Description

If you do not specify any of the parameters for the set findText.startColumn command, default is assumed. If you do not specify any of the parameters for the set default.findText.startColumn command, install is assumed.

The query current.findText.startColumn command returns the start column that will be used, within the current view, by the findText command for column-restricted searches.
