Command for retraction on long travels

Command for retraction on long travels

What is the setting for telling the extruder to retract before it starts a long (non-printing) travel? My 1.2.9 is printing well and does do retractions, but they seem to be only on short, tight segments. On longer non-printing travels (like 6 inches) you can see the filament oozing 5mm out of the nozzle before it starts printing again, because there was no retraction before these long moves.

In printer settings>extruder you turn retraction on and off. There is also a setting in print settings> infill where you can set it to retract only when crossing perimeters. I'm not sure how the two settings interact with each other.

That last setting seems appropriate; will try it.
