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?
