Indent blocks of code

thiago.eec · 08-07-2024, 09:29 AM

Hi, everyone.

Is there any way to indent blocks of code? I can use tab to increase the indent of a single element, but that seems to be it.

It would be nice if the Editor could handle multiple elements, like PyCharm and other IDEs. In PyCharm, you can select multiple elements (e.g.: a bunch of <p>s) and hit tab, so they all move forward. You can also use shift+tab to move backwards.

@Kovid, do you think is could be possible? Or maybe there are already shortcuts that I'm not aware of.

Beautify? (the flower icon) 1) on the current tab, applies to that Tab. 2) on the main menubar, all Text files

Beautify is an automated process, with good results most of the time, but not always*. Sometimes we need to edit the file manually.

In that case, it would be really useful to be able to speed the process, working with blocks, instead of individual elements.

* Here is an example where beautify doesn't work:

What exactly are you looking for? A shortcut to add one level of indent to all selected lines? Something dependent on tags?

theducks · 08-07-2024, 10:45 AM

Yep! Which is why I use Both Calibre and Sigil editors. IMHO Sigil does the code Pretty better. Calibre Fixes code better.

Each has their strong points. (and, No! I don't want either to be made the same, you might fix

what I already like)

Yes! To add/remove one level of indent to all the selected lines. I suggest tab to add and shift+tab to remove.

That would be all good for me too.
And possibly with some width found in Calibre editor options.

OK should be doable, opena bug report so I dont forget.

Please make the keystroke for code indent be control-F5-Shift Z. Something we'd never use or hit by accident.

Tab is already used to indent. Also, shift+tab does the same. So, there is no conflict with existing shortcuts.

Assigning an overcomplicated shortcut accomplishes nothing.

BetterRed · 08-07-2024, 07:06 PM

Why would insert/remove indent not have a user configurable shortcut?

Unless it can be guaranteed they will not clash with any existing shortcuts (within the application in question, the OS, or a WitW program) new features should not have any default shortcuts… IMO.

It would be nice to have the second option as well. IMO a much better solution for long files, if there's a need to indent dozens or hundreds of not necessarily adjacent lines.

For instance, "Indent all <p> tags" or even more granular "Indent all <p class="INSERTCLASS"> tags".
