Hi!
Something really annoying is the following behaviour:
When you select the line with 'debug' and press CTRL+B to mark it as comment it looks like this: '; debug "test"' (the comment symbol ';' is in front of the indentation)
In case you'd like to insert a new line into the 2nd if the whole line is moved to the beginning of the line because of the ';' from the comment being the first character in the line above.... destroying the complete indentation! (just position the cursor after the '#false' and press enter after commenting out the debug line and you'll see what I mean).

It would be better if a comment with CTRL+B would insert the ';' AFTER the indentation of the line - ' ;debug "test"'

Or maybe make this an option in the editor preferences.... but currently I don't know how I could stop this behaviour...

Thanks!

I use tabs instead of spaces. That way, only the lines at the left margin (i.e. Procedure declarations and EndProcedure) have their indentation altered.

Usually I also use tab's instead of spaces - but in my case this don't make a differnce when it comes to indentation? My example is working identically - regardless if I indent by tab or by space...

I think comment lines should simply be ignored by the indentation mechanism.

Yes, when you comment ";" is placed on start line and not before indentation.
But when you reset indentation with Ctrl+I, ";" come back with good indentation

Example i comment i set indent with ctrl + I so i get indentation before and after !

The best solution for me : i comment So, i keep indentation from fisrt commented line, and i keep indentation inside comment
if i do Ctrl + I, indentation don't change
if i remove comment, i don't lost indentation on line "Toto = Test + 4"

Thanks
