### Entry editors

Entry editors are used to view and edit the attributes and values of an entry.

#### Editor Types

There are two editor types available.

- Table Entry editor: Displays the entry's attributes and values in a table grid.

- LDIF Entry editor: Displays the entry's attributes and values in LDIF format.

By default the single-tab Table Entry editor is used, you could change that setting in the Entry Editor preferences.

#### Single-Tab vs. Multi-Tab

Each editor type can be used in single-tab or multi-tab mode.

- Single-tab means that only one instance of the editor is used, all entries are opened in the same editor tab.

- Multi-tab means that each entry is opened in its own editor tab.

#### Open Mode

With the open mode you could define how an entry should be opened while navigating through the DIT in the LDAP Browser view.

- Traditional: Editors open on single-click, using arrow keys triggers the opening of a new editor.

- Application-wide open mode + double-click: Editors open on double-click, using arrow keys requires an explicit enter to open the entry in an editor.

- Application-wide open mode + single-click: Editors open on single-click, arrow key and hover behaviour could be configured.

By default the traditional open mode is used, you could change that setting in the Entry Editor preferences.
