Enter at beginning of line removes indentation

[Sandman]

Hi! I'm a new user to CodeLite and like the IDE so far. Switched over from Code::Blocks and I definitely found it worth the effort of converting all my projects.

I have one thing that I don't like so much and couldn't find an option for it. When I hit <enter> at the beginning of a line containing indentation, it removes the indentation. I can see why it makes sense, but it's just that I'm so used to editors not doing that. I would really like an option for this.

Some pictures to explain better. Starting situation:


After pressing enter, this is what CodeLite does:


After pretting enter, this is what I would like as an option:


Thanks!

PS: I'm using v2.9.0.4684

the fact that the 'int' in your sample is colored with black suggests that you are not using c++ lexer.
Did you try the above code on a file with a .cpp/c extension?

Anyways, this seems to work in trunk version of codelite.

Hopefully, sometime next week, I will find time to release new version of codelite

I noticed it using a .cpp file, I should have mentioned. The example is just a new unsaved file.

Good it's already working, looking forward to the new release. Thanks!

The example is just a new unsaved file.

Your unsaved file is *not* of type .cpp (which changes how codelite's handle the indentation) - If it were a .cpp file, the 'int' would have been colored in blue (unless you changed it, and in that case ignore what I wrote)

I'm trying to say that I noticed it when editing a different file, namely a .cpp file. I made this unsaved file just for the example. The behaviour is the same.

I also saw this behavior, and the attached patch fixes it for me.

I just wanted to let you know that this is fixed for C++ files, but not for plain text files nor for Python files and maybe more. Using v4.1.5770.

Thanks,

There are no rules for text files indentation

About python etc: codelite does not support indentation for languages other than c++/c and PHP

Patches for other languages are welcomed

I don't want it to do any auto indenting things, I just want it to not change the indentation I have there. Look at the example: I would never expect it to remove the tab character there. If I am at the start of a line and I hit enter, I expect that line to move down and an empty line to be insert before it. I do not expect the line to be altered in any way.

Thanks,
