I just tried another time the code completation in lazarus for a class, however it resulted again in a pretty bad indention, see attachment. I played with various options and things but nothing helped (procedure/constructor should be at column 4 as it is typically in the compiler sources, begin/end at column 6). What is wrong/how can I tweak it? -------------- next part --------------

I just tried another time the code completation in lazarus for a class,
however it resulted again in a pretty bad indention, see attachment. I
played with various options and things but nothing helped

It seems that this file uses totally unique indentation rules, incomatible with the rest of the world ;-)
I'd suggest to turn off auto-indent -- it is not very useful anyway. Note that auto-indent is NOT the same as code completion, which is much more important and should work for you.

Of course not, but code generated by code completion should be indentend correctly, no?
which is much more important and should work for you.
Well, it works, but as the example shows, it is indented really ugly and practically unusable because it requires a lot of hand work to get the indentation right.

Ah, I did not look close enough -- this is all auto-generated code... Indeed, you have a problem ;-)
Did you consider re-formatting the unit to a more standard rules?

I have one project name for you: "jedi code formatter"
The original one on SourceForge, not the broken one in Lazarus.
Setup your formatting rules once, and apply and needed. Been using it for years. You can even setup JCF has an Lazarus external tool option with a keyboard shortcut to trigger it. I haven't done manual code formatting in years.

It is formatted according to the standard rules of the compiler :) And no, the formatting rules of the compiler sources won't change :)

I knew what you answer will be, but there's always a small hope ;-)

Yeah, auto-indent breaks in much simpler cases already :-( Florian, what do you think should be the ruler/pivot in that case? The class comment? The last code/class before? Whole file evaluation?
Best regards,

Florian, what do you think should be the ruler/pivot in that case?
What do you mean with pivot? The "starting" indention? This one is detected correctly.
