Indentation
During text entry, auto-indent returns the cursor to the column in which the previous line of
text starts, so that the indent of the base line is preserved in subsequent lines. In addition,
whenever you type the opening brace { for a function, the subsequent line is automatically
indented. When you type the closing brace } for your function, the line with the closing brace
and subsequent lines are un-indented by one level.
Figure 27. Auto indentation
When enabled, the editor also provides indentation guides to help you see code lines that
have the same indent level. For more information about configuring these options, refer to
Section 3.7: Customizing your work environment on page 60.
You can also manually indent lines by selecting a line or placing the cursor at the
beginning of the line and pressing the Tab key. Block indent allows any block of text
highlighted with the text cursor to be indented with the Tab key in the same way that you
would indent a single line. Pressing SHIFT+Tab un-indents the selected text block or line,
moving it to the left.
