Indentation in cb

[erezz]

Suppose that I have this code:

Code

void foo(int a)
{
        int b;

}

If I put the cursor in line 4 (below "int b;"), it is located at the beginning of the line. Now, if I click the "Enter" key, I would expect the cursor to be at the beginning of the line + one tab. Instead, it is located at the beginning of the line. This is annoying when you write lots of code.

Another issue:

Code

void foo1(int a, int b)
{
        printf("abcd %d %d",);
}

Now, I put the cursor after the "," in the printf line. I click the "Enter" key, and the cursor moves to the next line below the "p" char. How can I make it be below the opening " char (i.e one tab + strlen("printf") + 2 from the beginning of the line)?

Thanks,

Do you have the SmartIndent plugins installed and enabled?

Seems that I don't have it. I was hoping to find this plugin here: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=SmartIndent_plugin, but the page is empty. Where can I install it from?

Thanks,

It depends on your OS and from where you installed C::B.
If you are on linux, you have to install the codeblocks-contrib packages.
If you are on debian and have the codeblocks-conrib packages installed, you might need to run

Code

sudo dpkg-reconfigure codeblocks-contrib

and make sure the appropriate plugins are selected.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04. I don't have the codeblocks-contrib packages installed. If I installed C::B from the svn tree, do I need to generate this package with a specific 'make' command or do I need to download the codeblocks-contrib packages from the network?

If you build from sources, you need to run configure with the --with-contrib-plugins=xxx parameter, where xxx is either all for all contrib-plugins or any comma-seperated list of contrib-plugins.
Call configure with --help to see the exact spelling.

Thanks. I was able to use the SmartIndentCPP plugin. This solved the problem that I described in foo1() but didn't solve the problem in foo().

And here's another problem:

Code

void foo2(int a, int b)
{
        printf("abcd %d %d",
               a,
               b);
}

If I put the cursor in line 5 just after the ";" char and click "Enter", I would expect that the cursor will jump to the next line, 1 tab after the beginning of the line. Instead, it is located below the "b" char (i.e. still indented for the printf() function). This seems wrong to me.

This seems wrong to me.

In fact this is a very cool feature (at least for me).

To disable it Settings -> Editor -> General -> Indent -> Brace Smart Indent

I tried to check/uncheck "Brace Smart Indent". I didn't see any difference in the foo2 test.

Works as expected here.
