All, How do you disable the automatic indention of the next line after an 'if', 'for', 'while' or open-brace, etc.. There are many, many times, I just want to maintain the current indention level, for whatever reason, and the new indent behavior in kate/kwrite wants to think for me now and automatically indent the next line of code. Then it wants to think for me again and decrease the indention level when I type the closing brace. It's quite annoying really in certain circumstances.
When I set the level of indention I want with ctrl+i, I don't want the editor thinking it knows better than I do where the next line of code should start. How do I turn this off? Is there an unpublished switch I can add to katepartrc or another config that will disable this behavior? I like the normal behavior of the editor maintaining the current levels of indent for C, bash, normal text, etc.. and I've never before had the problem of it wanting to outsmart me and indent by itself. If I want the next line indented further, then I want to simply press ctrl+i again and set it, rather than continually having to hit backspace to undo what the editor did on its own. If this is the new default behavior for script and code, then an option to disable this behavior is needed. And it should be an option, because there is nothing wrong with offering this behavior. I can see how some people would like the help with indention, but for the rest, this new feature is just another annoyance that gets in the way if it cannot be turned off. Does such an option currently exist, or would this take code modification to disable this behavior? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
