though not a priority.

I would like it too !
But no hurry.

Best regards.

Nice to have.

I would add "auto-indent" of the selected part of the source code would be a nice one. +1

+1, if the settings are adjustable

+1 I want it either

If we only had IDE-plug ins, we could implement such features ourself.

+1 for Penko's auto indent if it means properly indenting pasted code like Visual Studio does.

-1 for forced/required auto formatting. I used an IDE once that required certain formatting and I hated it. One thing it did which was really annoying was block formatting Function/Sub declares where each parameter was on its own line. If this is implemented there will have to be options/rules/formatting available for it. In long functions I often like to eliminate spaces around + and & (as well as commas) to save from so much scrolling. I also often use different formatting depending on how = is used since it means two things in BASIC and there isn't an := or == to use:


To make things easier to read I'd much rather see current parameters in Sub tooltips appear in bold or a different color and get the new auto documentation in comment tooltips more reliable.
