indenting

[Maguin, Eugene]

Is it possible to turn off, completely off, the syntax indenting feature. Let me say that I’ve looked at ‘edit options’. I’ve seen the indenting control. I’ve changed the number in the box. A value of 0 is not accepted. I know a number of people like, probably really like, this feature. I don’t. It interferes with editing.

How does indenting interfere with editing?

There is no way to turn indenting off (other than writing the syntax that way in the first place), but it is easy to remove it.

Select the entire window (ctrl-A) and press Shift-Tab.  You might have to press Shift-Tab more than once.

In V25, in a syntax window, Edit > Syntax keyboard shortcuts will show you all they keyboard shortcuts.  V25 has eleven new ones.

Jon, thank you. I learned something (keyboard shortcuts) I would otherwise never have known existed.

It looks like a lot of work was done on the editor in 25. I’ll try them out.

Indenting interfering: I can’t recreate an example of what I’ve seen. I’ve noticed it, fixed it, and moved on.
