Indenting the paragraph

[wildeny]

I started to try KeepNote since 0.6. One thing I still can't get use
to is how KeepNote handles the indention, which is quite different
from using other word processors.

When the cursor is in the beginning of a new line, I want to indent
more so I press Ctrl+) but nothing happens. The indention would work
only after I have typed something there. This is rather strange to me.

What’s more strange is that when I press Enter on the indented
paragraph, the cursor goes back to the unindented position, i.e. the
beginning of a new line. I will need to press Ctrl+) again (and do so
after typing something there).

Am I the only one who feels this is strange?

I get the same behavior with Ctrl+), and also with TAB. Neither has
any effect whatsoever if I try to use them before having typed
anything on the line, as you desribe. If I type something and then
indent, the cursor does move. I can then delete what I've typed, and
now the cursor continues to move if I try to indent. But as soon as I
start typing at an indented point, the text jumps back to the
beginning of the line. I don't recall this being a problem in the
previous version, and I would have noticed because when I type notes I
do a lot of indenting.

I'm using Keepnote 0.6.1 in Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell Mini. I haven't
tested this on my PC yet.

I'm using KeepNote 0.6.1 on my Ubuntu 9.04. I don't use the indentation so heavily, but try to do as the discussion indicate.

1. Indent by TAB is applicable if only I put one space before pressing the button. But Ctrl+) don't.
2. Ctrl+) can be used even my cursor isn't positioned at the beginning of the line. So it's convenient enought to apply this feature even a little bit of annoying.

It seems that the feature we're talking about is the 'Automatic Indentation' that some text editor already did deploy, eg. gEdit, but some of my note taking software still don't, eg. Gjots2

One quirk which I am working on eliminating is the indentation of a
paragraph with no text. This happens when you hit tab on a new line
before writing any text. The editor logic right now loses the indent
tag because it accidentally collapses (when a start tag and end tag
touch they cancel each other out). So the quirkiness related to
indenting a new paragraph is a bug not a feature.

Overall, I indent indenting to work like an outliner. If you want a
normal tab to indent just the first line a paragraph then use
shift+tab.
