PHPStorm is a very nice IDE, but it does one thing that annoys me.
I (and my team) write our switch statements like so:
switch ($foo) {
case 'a' :
// some code
break;
}
PHPStorm auto-corrects this to be
switch ($foo) {
case 'a' :
// some code
break;
}
Note that the break is indented along with the code. I don't want this to happen.
I've looked in the code style section, but the only option for switches is to indent the case branches.
Does anyone know how stop PHPStorm from doing this?
You can change this default behavior in
settings | Editor | Code Style | PHP | Wrapping and Braces
uncheck indent 'break' from 'case' option
Based on the recommendations in PSR-2 on code style, PHPStorm displays it the recommended way.
If you really want to change it, you can do it in Editor > Code style > PHP > Wrapping and Braces under the 'switch' statement and uncheck the Indent 'break' from 'case.
Disclaimer, the screenshot is from IntelliJ, but you should be able to find the same setting in the same location
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the Settings .
Choose Code Style -> PHP as below
Change the Continuation Indent value to 0 as shown. Done.
Maybe you also have to go by the logic that the application is pointing out, a break is not necessarily the end of a case statement. You could have comments after the break statement, both logically and visually. The break is a child of that particular case statement.

I've always written simple one line if statements in the following style when they are concise and semantically clear (contrived example):
foreach (var item in list)
{
if (item == null) continue;
// ...
}
However as of some version of VS2017, it is now insisting that the above should become:
foreach (var item in list)
{
if (item == null)
continue;
// ...
}
I dislike the latter (yeah, I get that some people will dislike the style I actually do want), and every time I copy and paste code it re-formats automatically. I'm getting close to just turning off formatting entirely to prevent this, but does anybody know if there's a toggle to change this without negatively affecting everything else? I've trawled through the options trying everything that sounded related, but no luck. This style has always been supported in VS2013+, and if I remember correctly it even worked when VS2017 first came out.
Changing the "Leave statement and member declarations on the same line" option has no effect.
Turns out after a bit more digging that there was a .editorconfig file in the solution. Apparently this silently overrides your global settings in the VS options dialog. I was going to delete the question, but perhaps this will be useful to somebody else in the future.
In .editorconfig file , set "csharp_preserve_single_line_statements = true"
I have to submit an assignment and they want all the indents to be 3 spaces. I don't know how to change the settings of Astyle.dll so that it will change them 3 spaces instead of the default 4. Any ideas?
Also, Astyle seems to like having no indent between switch() and its cases, and I need there to be an indent there. Any ideas?
All of Astyle's settings are exposed in the Code::Blocks editor settings dialog. To access them, open the Settings menu, click Editor, and scroll through the sidebar to find the Default code entry.

Switch to the Indentation tab, found under Source Formatter in the sidebar, and change Indentation size (in spaces): to 3.

If I understand what you need correctly, check the box that says Indent switches (keyword case:) and check the box that says Indent case: statement in switches (commands under case:).
You can change any other settings you want as well. When you're done, hit OK, then reformat your code and make sure the settings are set the way you want them.
Xcode offers the following options under
Preferences > Text Editing > Indentation > Tab key:
In leading white space: Pressing Tab inserts an indentation only at the beginning of a line or following a space.
Never: Pressing Tab never causes an indentation.
Always: Pressing Tab always causes an indentation.
I checked the documentation for these options (that's what is to the right of the colons) but I still don't understand. What is "an indentation"? What I'd really like is if Xcode wouldn't act like it knows better than me and try reindenting lines of code that were already perfectly indented (I find it often does this inside of blocks - I'll have my code nested one level more than the line before it, and for whatever reason it tries aligning with the colon that starts the block argument, leading to unwieldy long lines, as if Obj-C doesn't have enough of those.)
Can anyone give me examples of how Xcode's behavior will change if I choose each of those options? Will one of those options make Xcode behave/autoindent the way I want it to?
If what you want is:
if Xcode wouldn't act like it knows better than me and try reindenting lines of code that were already perfectly indented
then the "Tab key" indentation setting has nothing to do with what you want.
Instead, try unchecking "Automatically indent based on syntax" and Xcode will stop changing your indentation level.
Alternatively, uncheck { and } under "Automatic indent for:".

What are the best code blocks short cuts ? Also is there some way we can directly indent all our code ? In addition how can we move through the active tabs in codeblocks ?
Tips about tab identation are helpful when you write your code from begining. But if you paste code in CodeBlocks from some external source, like PDF document, that code often will not have good identation.
In this case, you need to select code, right click on it, and choose Format use AStyle option.
This is a plugin for CodeBlocks for right text formatting.
I hope this will help someone!
You (these are the default settings I believe) can select a block of code and press the Tab key. This will indent the entire block.
So for indenting a whole file: Ctrl + A, then Tab.
In addition, you can use Shift + Tab on a selected block to "unindent"
You can move through the open tabs with Ctrl + Shift + Tab.
As for the best shortcuts:
I like Ctrl + D to duplicate a line and
Ctrl + L to copy it.
Anyway, you can set whatever shortkeys you like in the Editor menu (there you will also be able to find all shortkey currently set).

Add shortcut as you wish from Settings->Editor->Keyboard shortcuts->plugins->Source code formatters(Astyle) or use Plugins->Source code formatters(Astyle)
CTRL+A to select the code and TAB for alignment.
I have not had much luck with the code formatter in C::B. I like my code to look like this...
if (blah..) {
SomeCode();
} else {
DifferentCode();
}
it allows more code to fit on a screen, and is still reasonably readable.
After trying to tweak the settings in Settings->Editor, then Source Formatter tab, when I went to format my code, it removed the if line entirely, and I have not been able to unset my tweaks to make it work.
Fornatually, ctrl-z still works.
The code formatter should never remove code, only play with white space.
Maybe there is a better plugin.
Mark.
In addition in How to switch between tabs in codeblocks.

Linux (KDE Neon)
To switch between tabs.
Activate this with CTRL+SHIFT+TAB, then you can use the know options:
CTRL+TAB , to switch to the right tab.
CTRL+SHIFT+TAB , to switch to the left tab.
Or this other option, but this is not in the keyboard shortcuts, this option doesn't work in a cycle mode, when your get the last right tab, it jump to the bottom tabs:
CTRL+ right-arrow-key , to switch to the right tab.
CTRL+ left-arrow-key , to switch to the left tab.
Remember to activate with CTRL+SHIFT+TAB.
After you land in the desire tab you can type TAB to begin to start writing code.
Geany is the closest thing I can find to the perfect web development IDE. However, I can't find a way to automatically close curly brackets ({).
For example, typing:
function test()
{
..and pressing RETURN should cause this to happen:
function test()
{
// cursor ends up here (indented by 1 tab)
}
Is there anything that can make Geany do that?
This is a native feature of Geany,
Go to Preferences, then Completions, down there you can choose which one you want to auto close.
Check here for screenshots
You make something else:
If you want, open https://plugins.geany.org/autoclose.html and see "autoclose" plugin. You can install with :
sudo apt-get install geany-plugins-autoclose
and It is all
That isn't full answer to your question, but may be helpful.
I have Geany not in english, I make translations of menu's fields on my own.
Geany has a feature: when you type special text and press Tab, the text is going to be replaced with another text.
It works by default for if, else, for, while, do, switch and try.
Configuration of this feature is in [Tools]/[Config files]/[snippets.conf].
After doing some changes, save file and click [Tools]/[Reload configuration].
I added two lines to section C++:
class=class %cursor%%block%;\n
struct=struct %cursor%%block%;\n
With block=\s{\n\t%cursor%\n}
It doesn't let you press { Enter or { Tab to get
{
//cursor
}
because {=anything is ignored, I don't know why.
What you can do? You can have some another text, replaced using {\n\t%cursor%\n}, or define keybinding inserting it.
Geany can have user defined snippets. It is possible to open snippet configuration file from menu.
Tools ->
Configuration files ->
snippets.conf
Go to the language block where you want to add that feature.
For example:
[C]
if=if (%cursor%)%block_cursor%
else=else%block_cursor%
for=for (i = 0; i < %cursor%; i++)%block_cursor%
while=while (%cursor%)%block_cursor%
do=do\n{\n\t%cursor%\n} while (%cursor%)\n%cursor%
switch=switch (%cursor%)%brace_open%case %cursor%:\n\t\t%cursor%\n\t\tbreak;\n\tdefault:\n\t\t%cursor%\n%brace_close%%cursor%
At first it can be thought that the problem can be fixed just with adding this line
{=%\n{\n\t%cursor%\n}%
But Geany does not accept that when snippet is one non alphabetic character.
It will work for any other alphabetic character like this
b=%\n{\n\t%cursor%\n}% or bl=%\n{\n\t%cursor%\n}%
However I dont think it is what you want. The real solution you can find from geanys menu.
Edit
->Preferences
->Editor
->Completions
Tick the Auto-close quotes and brackets then click on apply and save
The Auto-close doesn't work if we place brackets inside another pair of brackets. For example, the inner bracket doesn't auto-close.{{|}
However, we can use the following snippet to create a block.
{={\n\t%cursor%\n}
But in order to use this snippet, we first have to include '{' char in our wordchars set by changing the below line in snippets.conf file.
wordchars=_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789{
