Hi folks,
Does anyone know of a way to set the Xcode 3 editor to match the
indent of the previous line and nothing else? The indenting options
with Xcode 3 seem to be either very-intrusive or nothing-at-all.
Even when I set it to indent only on Return, its idea of how much to
indent is almost never what I want. Nor can I copy and paste code
anymore, because it goes and reformats everything. I have to
option-drag. I'm finding this editor a constant source of
harassment and extremely unpleasant to use.
You don't *have* to use Xcode's editor if you don't want, you know.
Personally I edit all my code using Emacs. I occasionally try using
Xcode's editor, but while I love the autocompletion (which Emacs still
doesn't have), it's just a little too painful for me to switch. A lot
of that is down to the autoindent (but I tend to customise Emacs'
default indentation to suit my tastes, so I couldn't really just ask
Apple to copy Emacs either).
What *I'd* really like is to have Xcode with an integrated variant of
Emacs (or something very similar). I don't think that's very likely
to happen, though, even if I filed a bug report asking for it :-)
Kind regards,
Alastair.
