Category: IDLE Group: None Status: Open Resolution: Later Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Charles Doutriaux (cdoutri) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: [IDLE] auto indent/parentheses Initial Comment: It'd be really nice to have an automatic indent of a line when using the "TAB" key anywhere on the line, this feature exist in the python emacs mode and is REALLY nice and a total time-saver. Also, having the possibility to see which parentheses/brackets you're closing while typing (as in a lot of editors) would be really nice ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tal Einat (taleinat) Date: 2006-12-09 18:58 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1330769 Originator: NO The Parentheses/Bracket feature is already addressed by the ParenMatch extension. I agree that an "auto-indent-line" function would be very time-saving. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tim Peters (tim_one) Date: 2001-12-10 19:47 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=31435 Chagned Category to IDLE. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tim Peters (tim_one) Date: 2001-03-18 21:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=31435 Hmm. SF threw us another curve ball here: the new "Data Type" value "Feature Requests" has only "None" as a possible value for "Assigned To". The intro text in PEP 42 doesn't know about this either ... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2001-03-18 18:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 Thomas explained it nicely in a followup to the PEP 42 checkin. Included here for completeness. "The TAB comment is pretty easy to explain: the user wants IDLE to re-indent the *current* line whenever he presses TAB, regardless of where his cursor is at that moment." Indeed, this is how python-mode (and most language editing modes) in Emacs works. You typically have to type ^Q TAB to get a real tab character inserted. Assigning to Guido since he's the most enthusiastic IDLE hacker, but moving it to Feature Requests and re-opening. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tim Peters (tim_one) Date: 2001-03-17 21:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=31435 Added to PEP 42 and marked Later/Closed. Assigned to Barry in the hopes that he can clarify the TAB business (I don't understand what this is asking for -- doesn't a TAB key act like a TAB key <wink> in Emacs? maybe I always rebound it in my Emacs days). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=404444&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
