Really?
It turns out that my suggestion of having "Editor uses tabs" turned
on was bogus for Xcode 1.0.x. I was thinking about the current state
of affairs when I gave the suggestion. There was a particularly bad
set of issues back then w.r.t. the handling tabs in the indentation
code. :(
The problem seems to be even worse in 1.1. Now I can't even insert two
tabs at the beginning of a new line at the end of the file, no matter
what settings I use.
All I want is very simple auto-indent, just copying the indentation on
the previous line, as per Project Builder, or BBEdit, or MPW, or every
text editor ever written since about 1988. I don't need tab to do
anything other than insert a tab at that point. I can't find a way to
switch off XCode's "cleverness".
I'm testing this by opening up XCode 1.1 with nothing but a "New Empty
File" and the preferences window. I've switched off "Syntax-aware
indenting", hit "Apply", but it still behaves bizarrely (and no
auto-indent). Do I need to throw away my preferences file or > something?
Greetings all,
I installed from the SW update panel because I'm having problems with
getting the big download from ADC. I open up the .m file from an Xcode
plugin. The salient portion looks like:
@implementation MyPlugin
@end
I place the insertion point at the end of "@implementation MyPlugin". I
type <Return>. Nothing happens. Color me frustrated -- this is basic
text editing gone awry.
BTW, I've started this plugin because there is no "Enter Replace String
<Cmd-Shift-E>" item in the "Find" menu. It's really weird to have to do
this because it's a standard item in Macintosh code editors (same ones
as above). Any chance there'll be such an item in the near future?
Thanks!
