Bug ID: 409200
Summary: [kdevelop] source formatting options missing for
support files
Product: kdevplatform
Version: unspecified
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: sourceformatter
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
KDevelop has source formatting profiles for the most common programming
languages, but lacks support for a (simplified) profile for the other kind of
files one can encounter in source trees.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Load a project like Otter-Browser into KDevelop
(github:OtterBrowser/otter-browser)
2. open the toplevel CMakeLists.txt file
3. add a line to it or change indentation of existing code
OBSERVED RESULT
Typically KDevelop will be configured to use spaces for indentation, and this
will then be used in the file you are editing. The cited project uses tabs. You
can configure the editor to use tabs for the C++ files in *just* this project
but not for the CMake files (which are sources!) nor for any
other type of text file in that project.
EXPECTED RESULT
Tabs should be used, as customisable via a category in the Source Formatting
options to configure the formatting options that make sense for any kind of
text file.
I'm aware that there are transient ways to set the indentation options but
those are available only via the status bar and need to be reset each time. The
alternative of adding a Kate modeline isn't always acceptable.
