Hi,

Can anyone tell me how the auto indent function works in DarkEdit? I have it enabled in the options but it still does not auto indent the code.

Thanks in advance

Auto indent in DarkEdit (and several other IDEs) means:
Indent a line (using 3 space characters for example) type something and hit return
Now in the next line the caret won't be at the 1st column of the mew line but at the 3rd.

Thank you Empty for your quick reply. Its clear to me how this works now. The problem was, I was expecting it to be more sophisticated than it is. I used to program in GFA Basic on the Atari ST. If you wrote something like...

for n=1 to 10
...for m = 1 to 20
......print m;" ";n
...next m
next n

You never had to use the back space to remove the indent, nor did you have to use tab to place it, it did it all for you. I was expecting the same

Thanks again

Ah memories.
Yeah, the GFA Basic Editor was very cool. Syntax check while typing, case correction, keyword sensitive indents etc.
