--- Comment #17 from Igor Kushnir <igor...@gmail.com> --- I confirm the issue. The pasting issue is probably of the same origin, seeing as it comes from the KTextEditor configuration common to KDevelop, Kate and KWrite. The *Override Kate Indentation Mode* checkbox should ideally prevent this issue. But currently this checkbox only affects tabs/spaces and indentation width: https://invent.kde.org/kdevelop/kdevelop/-/blob/4ffbedc9e97bb84bb242ad5f7b76b6a7153b5a4d/kdevplatform/shell/sourceformattercontroller.cpp#L654. The thing is, the underlying KTextEditor framework has its own formatting, which KDevelop needs to override. The KTextEditor formatting configuration is not as sophisticated as KDevelop's one. You can try to improve the situation by changing the default indentation mode on the Editing->Indentation tab or configuring formatting on the Open/Save->Modes & Filetypes tab: use the Variables line edit and the Indentation mode combobox to configure KTextEditor's formatting for each Filetype you use. See the documentation: https://kate-editor.org/2006/02/09/kate-modelines/ Unfortunately this configuration is system-wide, applies to all files and not only in KDevelop, but in Kate and KWrite too. Consider also https://kate-editor.org/2006/02/09/kateconfig-files/ If you manage to work around this bug by configuring KTextEditor, consider contributing improvements to the adaptEditorIndentationMode() function I have linked. This way KDevelop's per-session or per-project formatting configuration would automatically override more KTextEditor formatting options. Though I expect that making your workaround generally useful could prove to be a challenging and time-consuming task, because the current formatting configuration has to be extracted from various source formatters before it can be applied to KTextEditor. Another potential fix in KDevelop is intercepting KTextEditor's formatting action (such as unindenting the protected: label) and reformatting the affected source code range with KDevelop's formatter instead (or reformat after each KTextEditor's formatting action). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
