I have "Smart auto indenting" on in the preferences, and the language is set to
Clojure, but I don't see any smarts. If I type:
(defn foo
and hit return the cursor goes to the beginning of the next line, not indented.
If I hit the tab key it tabs in, but it'll tab anything in further each time I
hit tab; it's not sensitive to the syntax or at least it's not going to a
reasonable place for the syntax. Within a definition if I type:
(cons (first x)
and hit return the cursor goes beneath the first "(", not beneath the second
"(" (which is the behavior of emacs modes, which I prefer) or even under the
"o" (which is the current behavior of Counterclockwise). Again, I can move
things around with tab but it's not syntax aware.
I've tried doing this in parentheses-balanced expressions as well, but still no
smarts. I use this feature not only to keep my code neat but also to make
syntax errors visually obvious; it won't help for this if the indentation isn't
automatically aware of the language's syntax.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
