Auto-Indent for parentheses and operators?
Submitted by on Sunday, 12 September, 2004 - 22:08
Is there a way to get jEdit to auto-indent using certain characters on the previous line as a guide? E.g. not having to press tab or make leading spaces while typing:
jEdit seems cooler than emacs, though, so it would be nice if there was a way to get it to do this! It would save a lot of time for me...if it's not possible now, would this sort of thing be possible with a plugin?
if(a == b
&& a == c
&& b !=c)
cout << "Oh my god, " << endl
<< "this makes no sense!" << endl
<< ((1 + 2 + 3
+ 4 + 5 + 6)
/ 20.0) << endl;
emacs does some of this in it's c++ mode: '<<' automatically aligns with the first '<<' on the previous line, and anything after an unmatched '(' auto-aligns with the character after that '('. Or maybe you have to press tab to prompt it, but then it automatically finds the correct place to put it.
