Description Alex Lorbeer CLA 2005-02-18 18:29:08 EST 
Could you *please* add an option to disable auto-indent?
Comment 1 Tom Hofmann CLA 2005-05-31 10:09:59 EDT 
Note that you can disable any auto-indentation but the standard one (which
simply copies the indent of the original line) using Edit>Smart Insert Mode.
Comment 2 Steve Kuo CLA 2005-08-10 12:39:13 EDT 
This really should be configurable.

I agree this should be configurable.

In addition please add a configuration option to remove white space from an automatically indented line if it is empty (I entered this request in 119690 which was marked duplicate of this one).

Thank you.

Is there any progress on this? It's been open for over a year. An editor's auto formatting should be configurable.

2 years and 3 months later and still no feature to disable auto-indentation.
Still no feature to not save indentation from blank lines.

Why is it there are no editors out there that give full control to the programmer.

It's such a simple option to ask for and should've been there all along.
Comment 8 John Welch CLA 2007-09-07 16:49:24 EDT 
Over two years on and still no sight of a simple feature update?

This is a very annoying problem with Eclipse and I hope this feature will be included soon.

Sorry we won't work on this but feel free to provide a high quality patch.

So when "Smart Insert Mode" is disabled an auto-indent should be added after an opened bracket ?

I write :
class my_class
{|

Enter was pressed :
class my_class
{
----|

A new line and tab character were inserted. Note that it's in a PHP file so the issue is probably related to PDT.

Any chance to add an option to disable copying the indent of the original line to the new line after pressing Enter key?
The current config is very annoying and I need to remove the indentation any time I need to add a new empty line in my code :(
