Beautifying Source

As you type SVEditor will automatically adjust your code indentation as you type. SVEditor will insert either spaces or tabs based on your preferences each time you hit as you type, minimizing the amount of work required to keep your code beautiful.

The indenter works on the following items:

• Indent / outdent as the user types open or close braces including begin and end
• Indent / outdent as type start / end constructs such as case/endcase, task/endtask etc.
• Automatically move the cursor to the correct indentation location when you hit Enter
• Fix indentation of pasted code to match the current indentation

To manually indent or out-dent code select the lines of code to be indented or out-dented and hit Tab to indent or Shift-Tab to outdent.

The indentation style can be set in Window>Preferences>General>Editors>Text Editors. The Displayed tab width field and the Insert spaces for tabs field control tabs vs spaces as shown in the image.

Automatic code indent can be disabled in the preferences menu at Window>Prefereces>SVEditor>Enable Auto-Indent
