Text editor - indent word wrap

Postby MtnSkier » Thu Apr 17, 2014 7:44 am

Hi!

I am a new user. When you indent a long line while word wrap is on, only the first line is indented - the successive lines jump back to the left side of the window - makes the code harder to read. Am I overlooking a setting? I hope there is a way to fix this.

BTW, WeBuilder is amazing. It is easy to overlook issues that are not ideal for all the thoughtful features it provides.

Thanks

Have to say I never use word wrap, so I wondered how the different editors I have behaved.

WeBuilder & Visual Studio 2010 behave the same, in that only the 1st line is indented.
Edit Plus & Notepad++ indent the 1st line and the wrapped lines.

So there is some difference in the way word wrap is implemented, which is the correct way would be what you are used to I guess.
I'm not aware of a way to change the behaviour in WeBuilder.

Thank you for explaining. You're right - I am used to Notepad++, tho there are editor features in WB that Notepad++ lacks, like the alternate search: CONTROL + ' <the 'grave accent' symbol under the tilde> for Quick Search in the Search toolbar. It doesn't force the search field to copy the current word like CONTROL+F does.

(I am using WeBuilder 2014)
