TextWrangler gutter removal

To permanently remove the left-side gutter from the Mac app TextWrangler, open the Terminal and type the following:

defaults write com.barebones.textwrangler Editor:Gutter -bool false
And to get the gutter back:
defaults write com.barebones.textwrangler Editor:Gutter -bool true
The gutter is useful for text folding, but if you use TextWrangler for plain old writing, the gutter might seem like clutter.

TextWrangler is great, and it’s free. It’s my favorite writing app.

[Solution found at TextWrangler Talk. Thanks, adiener.]

Was this written in English?

Those Terminal commands are one kind of writing I would not presume to edit. :)
