TeX editor with line-spacing preferences

Question

Do you know a TeX editor where one can increase the line spacing/change the line spacing in preferences?

LibreOffice Writer could do the trick provided it did not prepend 0xfeff to files encoded in UTF-8, which prevents LaTeX engines from working.

I'm happy with VIm. It's just that I like writing prose in a double-spaced environment.

I do not have another idea than a mean suggestion: Go through LaTeX Editors/IDEs, do own research for every editor and write an answer yourself. ;-) — Speravir, Feb 19 '14 at 02:42
@Speravir may be this thread should be updated with big-list Q and added separately in each editor answer as Feature Line-Spacing Preference: Yes/No with an link to this Q. — texenthusiast, Feb 21 '14 at 19:51
@texenthusiast: Good idea, but let's wait a bit. Perhaps some more editors are added here, and the separate answer should be merged in. — Speravir, Feb 21 '14 at 20:54
@Speravir Even Feature: AutoSave is missing for big-list Q for all editors which is very imp. — texenthusiast, Feb 21 '14 at 21:40

Feel free to enhance the list.

Preface: For general overview see LaTeX Editors/IDEs.

Multi-platform

In Emacs, the line spacing can be set with the line-spacing variable. To change its value, add the following to your .emacs (5 stands for the number of pixels put below lines):
```
(setq-default line-spacing 5)
```
GVim, use:

:set linespace=12
jEdit – Under Utilities: Global options: Text area you'll find Extra vertical lines spacing (in pixels).
sublime (a commercial text editor with syntax highlighting) – Add "line_padding_bottom: 10", to the user's preferences.
TeXstudio – Go to menu “Options” —> “Configure TeXstudio…”, then on tab “Editor” you find an entry “Line spacing” (default is 100%).

SynWrite (a general text editor with syntax highlighting) – Go to menu “Options” —> “Customize…”, then in settings window on “Editor” —> “View Settings” and change the value for “Line spacing” (default is 1).
WinEdt – Go to menu “Options” —> “Preferences”, then on tab “Font” and modify the value of “Extra Line Spacing“ (default is 1).

Texstudio in windows increase only the lower part of the line, but does not increase the upper part. My Unicode characters still be invisible in some circumstances — Say OL, Aug 20 '15 at 00:25
Note that for TexStudio you have to enable Show Advanced Options in the lower left corner of the Configure TeXstudio screen. — Jean-Paul, Oct 11 '16 at 12:32
