Auto detect indent style

<< < (2/3) > >>

Alpha:
Smart idea, thanks.  (Sometimes, it seems, I miss that which should be obvious :-\...)

Alpha:
The attached patch should correctly identify (and set) the indentation style per editor, or, if identification is not strong enough, fallback to user defaults.

I see some source code which have both spaces and tabs in the same line. But I see that your patch handle either line begin with pure tabs or lines begin with pure spaces, right?

For example, the GDB's source code
a tab length = 8 space
but GDB's indent length = 2 space

I'm not sure your algorithm can detect this. :)

Correct.  During my testing, I had no idea what the correct settings even would be in this situation.  I decided that in the case of mixed spaces/tabs, just allow the tab key to emit actual tabs, letting the programmer decide when/where they want to use tabs and spaces.

ollydbg:
My idea is:
1, firstly, guess the tab's length
2, secondly, guess the indent's length
I'm not thinking details. ;)
