Increase/Decrease Indent

Post by CocaCola »

Hi,
I bought Rapid PHP some days ago, great tool!
But there are some things I knew from other IDE making programming very comfortable, f.e. I miss

block indent (increase) with selecting the text block and pressing tab
or shift + tab to decrease
so the handling would be like indenting a single line

It's not possible to add this keyboard shortcut, because TAB is not accepted there.

Hi,

Tab & Shift+Tab to increase & decrease indenting on a block of text works fine for me in WeBuilder, so I would guess it works in RapidPHP too.

I would have been lost without this function.

I've not changed any shortcut settings to do this, it just works.

But it does not work in Rapid PHP, I tried it again now, the selection is replaced by a tab (\t) then.
I set the shortcut to SHIFT + PAGE UP/DOWN now, but TAB / TAB + SHIFT would be much better ..

You must select multiple lines for Tab block indenting to work. Otherwise editor thinks you want to insert a Tab. Doesn't it work?

It would be great, if decreasing indent would also work out for single lines when pressing SHIFT+TAB.
I helped myself and set a shortcut for "decrease indent" and edited the keyboard.ini-file afterwards, as it's not possible to use the tab key in the shortcuts menu.
it worked fine though to change the keyboard.ini and edit this value to my needs:

Code: Select all

ActUnindent=Shift+Tab
But it would be great if this would work by default! Maybe in version 2010? That would be aweseome!

Actually this has been discussed also in another thread. ;)
So, it is coming in version 2010.
Kind regards,
