[WORKAROUND] What's wrong with my autoindent?

[Randy Walker]

This is driving me crazy. I must be missing something in preference settings.
If I paste this in to the PB editor:
Procedure dummy()
If a=b
If 1=1
If 2=2
Else
EndIf
EndIf
EndIf
EndProcedure
I get this:

Code: Select all

Procedure dummy()
If a=b
If 1=1
If 2=2
Else
EndIf
EndIf
EndIf
EndProcedure

No change!!
If I paste it into JaPBe I get this:

Code: Select all

Procedure dummy()
  If a=b
    If 1=1
      If 2=2
      Else
      EndIf
    EndIf
  EndIf
EndProcedure

Nicely indented
I also get nice autoinddent as I type in JaPBe. Now I find myself editing in JaPBe and doing copy paste into the PB IDE just to get proper indentation. What am I missing (aside from JaPBe compatible with PB v6.12 x64) ?

it doesn't indent automatically, you need to do
ctrl + A
crtl + I

In addition, it will indent automatically if you write it line by line. Paste respects the original formatting

Hello,

If I paste it into JaPBe I get this:

JaPBe?
Do older JaPBe versions support recent versions of PB, or is there a maintained version somewhere?
(Personally, I think I remember stopping using JaPBe with PB versions 5+)

Sorry, no maintained version of JaPBe so my main project is trapped inside 5.xx until someone can pick up JaPBe and run with it. I have the source but cannot get it to compile.
I've had limited success compiling any of my codes with 6.xx for various reasons I just haven't had the patients to deal with so I'm in no big rush, fortunately.

I'm not seeing that happen at all.

THANKS Idle!!! Great Tip and works perfectly.

You can also do it with a line or a block of lines (Select line(s) then CTRL + I).

You can also use this IDE tool: https://hex0rs.coderbu.de/cgi-bin/hv.cg ... 24&ia=1814

Yes, I observed that already. Thanks boddhi

Yeah, I'm really not seeing that happen in v6.11 or v6.12 so I guess I must be missing something in my preference settings. I can manually correct indentation when I write line by line, but that's the only way I get proper line by line indentation.

Ctrl + M
Ctrl + M
Crtl + I
I replaced Crtl+I with Alt+Z
As well as Crtl+Alt+Z for SmartIndent

[Randy Walker]

I replaced Crtl+I with Alt+Z

How did you do that?
Alt+Z doesn't do anything to indentions.
But thanks. I learned Alt+Z Opens my NVIDIA sidebar thingy I didn't know I had.

the keyword is replaced
My fingers can't reach to press Crtl+I. I use this very often, so I chose a convenient hotkey.
You don't have to keep the NVIDIA configurator in memory.

OK, Gotcha. Thanks AZJIO
