[android-developers] Re: Disabling Java formatting in the Eclipse editor
One thing I had to do on my laptop is turn the sensitivity of the touch pad way down, since my hands waving over it (not touching) while typing would be interpreted as mouse presses, highlight whole sections of code, and delete them on the next keystroke. Didn't have the problem with any other editors. On Jul 21, 10:10 pm, A Curious Developer imdb...@yahoo.com wrote: Grrr ..

[android-developers] Re: Disabling Java formatting in the Eclipse editor
If you have your own style of formatting, why not see if you can create your own custom format in settings? There were things I didn't like with the default java formatting, so I created my own custom setup.

[android-developers] Re: Disabling Java formatting in the Eclipse editor
Look in settings... I believe you can disable it or at least change its key binding. Thanks, I have got rid of most of them, but the menu shortcuts are still there and I don't know how to be rid of them. Also Ctrl+S for saving ;) I have been using that, and it seems to help (reduce the number of mysterious reformattings, I think), but old habits die hard. ;) Thanks for the suggestions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Disabling Java formatting in the Eclipse editor
You might note that there are several different versions of Eclipse you can use, and they may have different formatting policies. I know the version I got with Websphere a year ago was far worse in this regard than the vanilla version I downloaded for use with Android.

Out of curiosity, what do you hate about the Java formatting. I rather like it myself.
