[TxMt] [TM2] Auto-indentation

[Emmanuel Blot]

Hi All,

I'm editing C files with TM2, and the auto indentation is often wrong,
and forces the cursor to move to an unexpected position when I start
writing a new line.

I'm looking for information/guide to:
* disable the whole auto-indentation feature
* configure the auto-indentation feature, if it's feasible
* cancel the last auto-indentation action: Cmd-Z removes both the
indentation and the typed character. In many others editors, Cmd-Z
cancels the automatic action, then a second hit remove the last typed
char. Is there an equivalent in TM2?

Thanks,
Emmanuel.

Same here with MATLAB as language.

I find that the main problems are with the "auto-correction" of indentation, you can disable this as follows:

+ Add a settings item to the bundle in question (make sure that the scope for the setting item is set correctly).

+ Add this dict to the settings:  { disableIndentCorrections = '1'; }

Of course, if you want to rewrite the indentation rules for the language, then you are free to :-).  Here's a link to the docs:

And there was much rejoicing! Do you know if it's possible to do this
globally instead of separately for each bundle?

I don't think that it is possible to set this globally.

It is strange though.  The bundles that I have written all work correctly - I only seem to have problems with other peoples' bundles :-P

I think the answer’s right there on the first line. Create the settings in your personal bundle but *don’t* provide a scope at all and it should apply everywhere. (I haven’t tested this.)
