# Working with project settings in the AWS Cloud9 IDE
<a name="settings-project"></a>

 *Project settings*, which apply only to the current AWS Cloud9 development environment, include the following kinds of settings:
+ Code editor settings, such as whether to use soft tabs and new file line ending
+ File types to ignore
+ The types of hints and warnings to display or suppress
+ Code and formatting settings for programming languages such as JavaScript, PHP, Python, and Go
+ The types of configurations to use when running and building code

Although project settings apply to only a single environment, you can apply the project settings for one environment to any other environment.
