that's cool!! I figured that for me this feature is only useful when finishing up scripts or parts of modules. however, I often have scripts for data-analysis that I tinker a lot with, in which case I don't want the entire script formatted, but select parts that are "finished" and that I want to then format. do you think that "formatting on save" could be turned into another feature where you apply formatting on selection of the current script? wonder how hard this would be - worth a feature request?
