On OSX, I mainly (used to) use Textmate, and it was pretty good for stripping trailing ws etc. Since I switched to OSX SL, and the Xcode editor got better, I've been using it, and one of the things that bugs me is that I can't figure out how to make it: a) Strip trailing spaces b) Convert tabs to spaces on the fly Both of which I like. There don't seem to be menu options for either behaviour - I imagine there's some magic incantation I can set to get that behaviour but... Maybe back to Textmate after all. Anyway - a while back there was a discussion about the possibility of using an auto-indenter to enforce a consistent house style. Maybe this is an argument in favour of that? However, as I recall, we couldn't find an indenter that actually did a style we liked consistently! _______________________________________________ fltk-dev mailing list fltk-dev@easysw.com http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
