Hi,

Could you tell mi how to configure editor to get an effect presented below:

'|' - cursor position
'_' - space (this forum script is deleteing spaces :-\)

Stage I:

function xyz ()
___{|
___}


Pressing <enter>...


Stage IIa (desired):

function xyz ()
___{
___|
___}


Stage IIb (actual, not wanted):

function xyz ()
___{
______|
___}


I hope you know what I want to do. :-) In PhpED 3.2 I did it somehow, but in 3.3... I'm unable... so far.

Best regards.

this feature is known as auto-indent
so you may turn it off if you wish.

Hmm... Is it this really? When I turned off this feature, there is no indent at all (cursor is placed at the begining of the line) while I need indent at the same level as bracket.

Propably it's something else or maybe you disabled this feature? :-\

don't you think it's a good idea to let people code to the standards they choose for themselves or their team?

an IDE is just an IDE, not a semantic pulpit. it's not for you to determine standards to which coders who use your editor should be beholden. it's for you to build a flexible, robust code editor that can accomodate as large a cross-section of your potential customer base as possible.

standards are a good thing, but you shouldn't force your favorite ones on your customers.

3.3.1 (and versions later on) offers smart indent and auto indent features.
While in regular (auto) indent cursor is just placed below the first non-space character on the line above. Smart-indent counts curly brackets and adds extra indentation if needed.
