Pressing tab inserts spaces

Open pardeike opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

I would like to have a way to:

choose if I want to insert a tab or spaces
configure the amount of spaces inserted
indent selection with tab/shift-tab

Of course I could write a script for that but basic editing before applying a script is imho necessary.

Thanks for the feedback! Those are definitely things I'd love to add in.

The way I often use Boop is to copy a block of Java/Javascript/Python code from my IDE for sharing in a GH issue or in Slack/Teams with some minor tweaking. The issue is the code is often indented several layers deep but I want to sharre the code as if its standalone - having 12 spaces indented code looks odd. In IntelliJ/VSCode/TextMate/BBedit I can simply select the text and hit shift + tab (or shift + [) and move the block X levels to the left.

Boop can't do this - all other basic code editors have this feature.
