Damn it.

Preview didn't work & now formatting is messed up.

Posting it again.

I'm using jedit 4.3pre16 on slackware 12.2 linux, and I had following problem:

When I was typing something something like

switch(index){
	case(Choices::done):

jedit kept moving

(case(Choices::done)

line to the left (i.e. was unindenting the line) every time I typed colon (*any* colon - even the one in the middle of Choices::done). I was able to partially fix it by copying cplusplus.xml to ~/.jedit/modes, adding it to ~/.jedit/modes/catalog and replacing

        <PROPERTY NAME="indentNextLine"
            VALUE="(?!^\s*(#|//)).*(\b(if|while|for)\s*\(.*\)|\b(else|do)\b)[^{;]*$" />
        <PROPERTY NAME="unindentThisLine"
            VALUE="^\s*((.*case\b.*|[\p{Alpha}_][\p{Alnum}_]*)\s*(slots)??!).*$" />

with

        <PROPERTY NAME="indentNextLine"
            VALUE="(?!^\s*(#|//)).*(\b(if|while|for)\s*\(.*\)|\b(else|do)\b|\bcase\b.*\(.*\))[^{;]*$" />
        <PROPERTY NAME="unindentThisLine"
            VALUE="^\s*(([\p{Alpha}_][\p{Alnum}_]*)\s*(slots)??!).*$" />

But I got another problem. Now when I type something like:

switch(index){
	case(Choices::done):
		break;
	case(Choices::cancel):{

jedit keeps moving "case(Choices::cancel):{" to the right (i.e. indenting) when I type "{" or colon. This obviously happens because jedit "thinks" that break is not within indentation block and defines proper indentation level. How can I fix that? I've tried replacing

        <PROPERTY NAME="indentOpenBrackets" VALUE="{" />

with regexp that would exclude "case" (something like "(?!\bcase\b.*\(.*\):){"), but this didn't work (it looks like indentOpenBrackets doesn't take regexp as argument). Any ideas?

P.S. This forum should have option to disable smileys.
