force 4 spaces and "Use spaces instead of tabs"

[dex]

Intype runs some auto-detection and decides number of spaces and to use tabs or spaces. That is fine. 

But sometimes when you receive code from different sources and want to make sure that all new code that goes in is always "4 spaces-no tabs" constant switching of the option is very annoying.

It would be nice to have ability to turn-off auto-detect and force certain editing options on all newly open documents. Permanent setting.

Seems reasonable enough, though a little bit dangerous. I'll give it some thoughts.

Our original plan was to add the forcing but also offering a conversion for the existing indentation. Also project is planned to contain a forcing/check feature for these.

Nonetheless, this would not fit to our plan before 1.0, so we would look at it after 1.0.

I still think that best possible option is to turn off autodetection and set it in options in bundle file, or user bundle options.

I agree with Mr. Wojciech Zieliński . 

Simply turn off autodetect and make tab/space options set in Preferences.

BTW: when version 1.0 is expected to be out? Approx.

I have had problems with this as well. It's stealthily replacing my spaces with tabs. Very bad when the spaces mean something!

Intype is auto-detecting that the document is indented with tabs or spaces.

If it does not work, it is a bug. In that case, please let us know what version of Intype you have and possible send the file you're having problems with so we can take a look and possibly tune the auto-detection algorithm.

Also it would be awesome if you could describe the operation which is replacing the tabs / spaces.

I'll add the feature to "turn off autoindentation" to the todo list.

The feature for setting these defaults based on grammar via bundle settings is in the plans.

The file needn't be complicated to cause this.

Type in 16 spaces, then hit Enter.

The first line will be spaces, the next tabs.

Or even more strangely, copy-paste will replace spaces with tabs.

Type in Enter, then 16 spaces.

ctrl->a, ctrl->c, deselect, ctrl->v

Second line has 16 spaces, third has 4 tabs.

The file that was actually causing this problem was a Ruby script with inline quotation. I copy-pasted it over from elsewhere and was surprised to see my program suddenly failing.

Hm, ok I'll make a few tests. Thank you for the details.

Ok I have tested it, and the explanation is simple:

Intype always inserts indentation by what is set in the bottom bar no matter what you have copied or inserted before, every new indentation is formatted by that bottom-bar settings.

Intype has an auto-detection algorithm to always choose indentation mode by the file when you open it, though now I see that there is a really strange bug causing Intype to not detect the indentation correctly (it simply says Tabs). We will take a look at the bug ASAP and push a fix.

So if you have "Tabs" set in the bottom bar and you insert spaces and hit enter, Intype will count how many spaces there was on the line, but on the next line it will insert tabs simply because you have said Intype to do so.

We have just released a hotfix that fixes the auto-detection. Although for your file, the bottom "data" block messes up the indentation detector a little (it detects Spaces(3) format).
