I find the autoindent style of Notepad++ a little weird: when I am typing on an indented line, I do want it to indent the next line after I press Enter (this it does properly). However, when I am on an empty line (no indentation, no characters) and I press Enter, it indents the next line, using the same indentation as the last non-empty ...
I see on Stack Overflow and PEP 8 that the recommendation is to use spaces only for indentation in Python programs. I can understand the need for consistent indentation and I have felt that pain. Is there an underlying reason for spaces to be preferred? I would have thought that tabs were far easier to work with. ...
I have done some googling and I'm surprised that I haven't found this. COuld someone explain to me simply the easiest way to change the indentation behavior of vim based on the file type? For instance if I open a python file it would indent with 2 spaces, but if I open powershell it would use 4 spaces. ...
I sometimes find myself discussing this issue with other C# developers and especially if we use different styles. I can see the advantage of tab indentation allowing different developers to browse the code with their favorite indent size. Nonetheless, I long ago went for two space indentation in my C# code and have stuck with it ever sin...
How would you format/indent this piece of code? int ID = Blahs.Add( new Blah( -1, -2, -3) ); or int ID = Blahs.Add( new Blah( 1,2,3,55 ) ); Edit: My class has lots of parameters actually, so that might effect your response. ...
I have a some .py files that use spaces for indentation, and I'd like to convert them to tabs. I could easily hack together something using regexes, but I can think of several edge cases where this approach could fail. Is there a tool that does this by parsing the file and determining the indentation level the same way the python inter...
I want to override the insane default tabbing scheme in emacs so that it will work like most other editors (eclipse, notepad++). For some reason I can't get it to go. I found a tutorial online ( first google result ), but none of the things there seemed to work. I want to set it so that regardless of mode, tab will insert a tab, and...
How would you define your parser and lexer rules to parse a language that uses indentation for defining scope. I have already googled and found a clever approach for parsing it by generating INDENT and DEDENT tokens in the lexer. I will go deeper on this problem and post an answer if I come to something interesting, but I would like to...
I often run into code that has to perform lots of checks and ends up being indented at least five or six levels before really doing anything. I am wondering what alternatives exist. Below I've posted an example of what I'm talking about (which isn't actual production code, just something I came up with off the top of my head). public ...
I write this tiny C++ example in Eclipse 3.4.1 (CDT 5.0.1): #include <iostream> #include <vector> #include <boost/foreach.hpp> int foo() { std::vector<int> numbers; BOOST_FOREACH(int n, numbers) { std::cout << n << std::endl; } std::cout << numbers.size << std::endl; } Then I hit Shift+Ctrl+F to format my code, and it b...

In Visual Studio 2008, is there a way to keep the indentation of automatically wrapped long lines? (Only need it for C#.) When word wrap is turned on, it looks like this: var a = SomeFunctionOrWhateverWithSuperLongName(parameter1, parameter2); I want it to look like this: var a = SomeFunctionOrWhateverWithSuperLong...
Does anyone know how to convert tabs to spaces in Notepad++? I found a webpage that suggests it's possible (http://www.texteditors.info/notepad-replacements-compared.php) but I couldn't find any information about how to do it. I like to be able to do that because some web forms don't respect code with tabs in it. ...
I've been using Vim for a while, and I can't get proper HTML indentation working in PHP files. For example, what I want is for each child to be indented one tab more than it's parent, as shown below. <?php if(isset($sports)) { //Do something ?> <div> <label>Uniform Size</label> <ul> <li class="left"><label for="s" class="small">S<...

In Vim, what is the command to correct the indentation of all the lines? Often times I'll copy and paste code into a remote terminal and have the whole thing messed up. I want to fix this in one fell swoop. ...
When I saw this article about using a python-like sintax (indentation based, without curly braces, syntax) for C#, I begun to wonder: can I have an IDE that parses and compiles it? ...
This has bugged me for a long time, and try as I might I can't find a way round it. When I'm editing text (specifically latex, but that doesn't matter) files, I want it to auto-wrap at 80 columns. It does this, except if I happen to be in the middle of a parenthetical clause, it indents the text which is very annoying. For example, this...
The default style for my document is that paragraphs are indented. That's fine. But I need no indentation for paragraphs that follow a figure or other objects. Using \noindent manually does not work well, because you don't know which paragraph will follow the figure in the final output (LaTeX places figures automatically). So I need pa...
