python indentation trouble
Submitted by Anonymous on Saturday, 26 June, 2004 - 14:16
hi, i'm trying to use jedit with python, but jedit fails in indentation

e.g
i define a loop ('_' instead of ' ' for readability)
for i in range(10):
____print i
then to get out of the loop, i hit : but it doesn't unindent as needed, it just goes 1 space back. In every other python editor i've been using for years (emacs, idle, etc) behaves as expected.
for i in range(10):
____print i
___outSideOfTheLoop
instead of
for i in range(10):
____print i
outSideOfTheLoop
so i can't use jEdit to python

Assuming your BACKSPACE key is bound to the default 'Delete Previous Charatecter' action, jEdit is not failing. It's doing exactly what is asked of it. To get the behavior you're looking for (if you're using 4.2), bind Macros > Editing > Greedy Backspace to BACKSPACE.

I'd suggest upgrading to 4.2pre14. Alternatively, you can find it here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/jedit/jEdit/macros/Editing/
