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.
