Hi Detlev, I find the behaviour of the TAB key somewhat inconsistent.
My configuration is Tab width: 4 Indentation width: 4 x Show indentation guides x Auto indentation x Tab key indents - Use tabs for indentations - Convert tabs upon open 1) At the beginning of the row it indents the row. Shift-TAB unindents it. 2) In the rest of the row TAB inserts some spaces up to the next tab point. Shift-TAB moves the cursor back by the tab-width (4 in my case) I find number 2 inconsistent by itself: if pressing TAB inserts spaces up to the tab point, Shift-TAB should remove them. But since Eric is not a Word processor I think it could be much better to stick to emacs behaviour, where TAB works as in number 1 regardless of the position of the cursor in the row. If you think (or know) that someone uses TAB inside a row to line up code at tab points, could it be possible to add a configuration to enable emacs behaviour only? Thank you very much Leo ------------------ Python 2.6.4 Qt 4.5.2 PyQt 4.6 sip 4.9.1-snapshot-20091015 QScintilla 2.4 eric4 4.4.17 (r4101) _______________________________________________ Eric mailing list [email protected] http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/eric
