* Indenter correctly the current line while pressing on the key (TAB) anywhere on the line (as with emacs)

thanks

I'd disagree here. How would you place a tab then in the code (which applies more often)? What's wrong with "Home" + "TAB" as (let me say) all non-emacs-users do?!
With regards, Morten.

if you want a tab in text, you use \t

but emacs's tab is very useful for easily  debugging : if your line is not indenting after, you know you have a bug : missing ;...

and you put more often a tab for indenting than to put a tab in the code....

try it one time, for ever....

PS : sorry for my english....

The AStyle plugin works on the full source, not just the current line, so that might be problematic.

Also, I agree with Martin, as a non-Emacs user, it would be quite confusing for me if pressing tab indented the current line. But hey, if you want that functionality, why don't you write a mini-plugin that hijacks the key events? That shouldn't be more than 20-30 lines of code. Then those who absolutely must have Emacs-like behaviour can have it, simply by loading that plugin :)

I believe he did not refer to a tab inside a character string, but in the source code, something like here:
int     foo = 1;
string  bar = "bar";

I use emacs with Linux, and IDE with XP....I have the 2 practices...
But, i guaranteed to you that you love it....It is as TAB with bash on linux... :D
