No code formatting configuration about mono-d HOT 13 CLOSED

It's been added the todo-list :)

from mono-d.

In the meantime, would it be possible to make the default indentation 4 tabs? This is the standard in ~most D projects including Phobos.

The general behaviour can be changed in the MonoDevelop settings (Source Code -> Code Formatting -> Text file). Is using tabs that bad right now? :)

from mono-d.

this is a tricky one... im not sure of the importance of having a specific indentation setting for d projects.
If this is to be implemented, maybe we could have the d specific indentation setting defaulted to default which always reflects Source Code -> Code Formatting -> Text file - Tab Width.

@aBothe I was not aware that the text file settings affected D files. I'll try that.

@michaelc37 That design sounds reasonable. I believe having a separate configuration for D is important if you ever want to support advanced "format document" scenarios.

OK, not sure if this is related, but the indentation is acting really strange: http://i.imgur.com/2AImF.jpg

What happens is that after typing one declaration or statement and hitting enter, the indentation suddenly increases by another level. Any clue why this happens?

Yeah I'm also not really sure.. There are so many different rules to follow, so it can become a very huge mess. Nevertheless I created tests which should prevent things like this - I'll keep it in mind for the next fixing cycle. :)

Another (possibly related?) bug is that when selecting text and pressing enter, it inserts a new line instead of overwriting the selected text.

Is the indentation issue supposed to be fixed in the last update?

from mono-d.

I think so

It still seems to do that double-indentation thing for me (see previous screenshot).

Doesn't happen on my side - hmm - anyway, I think it can be very annoying that for changing a formatting setting, creating a new project is required. You think there's a chance to change this in MonoDevelop, in general? Or should it be D-exclusive :D ?

from mono-d.

Ok, I think I can close this issue, since there are couple of code formatting options even for projects now.
