DBeaver wordwrap and autoformat by default

Make the values panel auto-format and wordwrap by default. This requires changes to the config files in DBeaver’s workdirectory.

Make sure DBeaver is closed before doing this.

Edit these files:

• workdirectory/workspace6/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.ui.workbench.prefs

# add these to bottom of file 
lineNumberRuler=true
wordwrap.enabled=true

• workdirectory/workspace6/.metadata/.plugins/org.jkiss.dbeaver.ui.editors.data/dialog_settings.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<section name="Workbench">
  <section name="AbstractTextPanelEditor">
    # these two lines
    <item key="content.text.editor.auto-format" value="true"/>
    <item key="content.text.editor.word-wrap" value="true"/>
  </section>
</section>
