Better indenting?!?
Submitted by on Thursday, 18 November, 2004 - 15:44
I like Jedit a lot, but I keep having trouble with the indenting. In perl, the indenting code simply does not seem to understand situations when a statement is being continued on the next line. In these cases, there should be some extra-indent (e.g. one additional indent level), but Jedit does not do that.
Deep indent does not work correctly either because it will indent way too deep in many situations.
It would really be great if this would work like in other editors, e.g. (x)emacs, where the indenter actually knows about the syntax of the language to indent and acts accordingly.
Is there a way to replace the default indenting by a plugin that would try to do it more intelligently?
