Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 24, 2016 #1 The next version of B4A will include an auto-formatting feature. It fixes the code indentation. You can activate it by selecting the text and pressing on Alt + F. It will also be applied to pasted code. This is very useful as code copied from the forum doesn't include any tabs at all.

M Mahares Expert Licensed User Longtime User Nov 24, 2016 #8 With the current IDE 6.30, when you press the Alt + F, the 'File' Selection menu pops up. What happens when the new feature for the auto format is implemented? Upvote 0

MitchBu Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 24, 2016 #9 Excellent idea. But I wonder if Alt-F, which is a windows shortcut for the Files menu, is the most appropriate. What about Ctrl-Alt-F instead, which does not conflict. Or add this option as well to the right click menu, like block comment ? Upvote 0

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 25, 2016 #10 You can still reach the File menu by pressing on Alt and then F (after releasing the Alt key). Pressing on Alt moves the focus to the menu bar. Upvote 0

KMatle Expert Licensed User Longtime User Nov 26, 2016 #18 Nice... A matter of taste here: Will the "leading space(s)" be removed? (see the first If. The next one has one before If) Code: If Job.Name .... If Job.Tag.... Upvote 0

The whole point of indent is to have spaces before the nested if. Besides, as far as I understand, since it is an option, you use or not depending on your taste, unlike some other products I use where it is automatically enforced. At present I have to format myself, and yes, I have been accustomed to indent code, for legibility. I will enjoy having automation here. Upvote 0
