Hello,

40 hours per week i program with VisualStudio and if i go back to B4X Tools, then it is a big change for me, because the text is not automatically formatted.
I know i can mark the sub and press CTRL + F, but this is not the same...

Any chance to implement this?

Greetings

You don't need to mark the sub, you can press Alt + F at any time while the cursor is in the sub and it will format it.

Alt + F currently does one thing - set the indentation. This also happens automatically when you type.

Click to expand...

where do i do it?
If i type:
Dim str as string
and then press enter then the code is still in 1st place.

The cursor goes to the correct position when you enter or exit a block. It is not fully automatic.

For example when you press enter after writing the sub line the indentation level will be set to 1.

As written above you can always click on Alt + F to format the complete sub. You don't need to select anything.
