If you highlight a text block in a node's body that has some blank lines and then indent it - perhaps with <TAB> - The blank lines don't stay blank. They get padded with spaces to the new left margin. That's annoying because 1) Leo puts dots in to show you the spaces, which is visual clutter I'd rather not have, and 2) checker commands like pylint give you warnings about them, so you feel pressed to step through and eliminate all of them.
I'm wondering how feasible it would be to change the indenting code so that blank lines stay blank when a block is indented. I haven't tried to find that code yet, let alone understand it, so I don't have an opinion about how easy it would be. Or maybe there is some good (non-programming) reason to keep the current behavior as it is, one that I haven't thought of. Does anyone else care about this? If they do, I'll create a new issue about it. Otherwise, I suppose it wouldn't be hard to create a user command to clean up a node so that empty lines turn into blank ones. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
