Modify curly brace ({}) behavior.
Submitted by the_0ne on Tuesday, 26 June, 2007 - 12:58
I'm trying to find the way to modify the curly brace behavior so it doesn't constantly tab my hash/array/function blocks. I've found all kinds of key behavior in the Utilities -> Global Options -> Shortcuts section, but don't see where the curly brace behavior is coming from. It's really annoying. Something like this is almost impossible to type into jedit.

part_type_info = { 'to' => { 'optlist' => "fontname=optima fontsize=12 encoding=unicode " +
"fillcolor={gray 0} alignment=justify leading=120%",
'caption_part' => false } }

Everytime I type an open set of curly braces, it lines up where it thinks it should and I have to then space it myself. I just want the curly braces to not do anything, I can format the code myself.

Thanks in advance...

I guess that Your "curly brace ({}) behavior" is related to indenting and unindenting.

This functionality is one of the core features of jEdit and it is mode-dependent. That's why it is configurated in the mode definition file. So, You have to edit this file for each mode You want to disable automatic (un)indenting.
Uncomment all lines of PROPERTY-tags which NAME-attributes contain "indent".
