Auto Format Preferences
Jan 4th, 2006, 3:18pm  
Just switched over to Flash for a project and I'm quite enjoying the option of setting the Auto Format in Flash to put spaces between my operators. It means I can type sloppy and with one click it gets cleaned up.

Some options on how to beautify the text would be nice, especially when trying to read someone else's code.

Where is the Auto Format discombobulator code? I wouldn't mind having a stab at this if I have the time.

the stuff that happens as you type is in processing/app/EditorListener.java and the autoformat tool is in processing/app/tools/AutoFormat.java.

they're both a mess (autoformat was written by martin gomez and abandoned, and EditorListener gets work only at random times) pending a "proper" solution that actually parses the code. this solution would then be used for syntax coloring, format as you type, and explicitly calling "Auto Format." since this is a much larger task, the current hacks remain.
