But instead of using tab to (un-)indent selected lines, you can use
the multi-caret feature.
Go to the left most column, on the first line. Then shift-alt-down
until you have a caret in front of each line you wish to change. Now
either delete spaces, or insert spaces.
Problem is, that backspace behaves really uncontrollable in this case:
lines get one char removes others more, I think it does some unindent
operation as well instead of just removing chars.
Sounds strange.
Maybe you have some tabs/#9 chars? Then "del" removes the entire #9.
But, multicaret would eat into the text if you deleted from this.
Foo();
// comment at x=0
Bar();
So, yes 2nd option would be good...
Btw, when indenting for alinment, I use an editor-macro (assigned to a
key) for aligning tokens in the middle of a line.
For example bring all // to the same x pos
It only goes for the first occurrence of the token, but it can be adjusted.
You can in a similar way write a macro to do your indent.
The macro is actually the example on
https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Editor_Macros_PascalScript
function IsIdent(c: Char): Boolean;
begin
Result := ((c >= 'a') and (c <= 'z')) or
((c >= 'A') and (c <= 'Z')) or
((c >= '0') and (c <= '9')) or
(c = '_');
end;
var
p1, p2: TPoint;
s1, s2: string;
i, j, k: Integer;
begin
if not Caller.SelAvail then exit;
p1 := Caller.BlockBegin;
p2 := Caller.BlockEnd;
if (p1.y > p2.y) or ((p1.y = p2.y) and (p1.x > p2.x)) then begin
p1 := Caller.BlockEnd;
p2 := Caller.BlockBegin;
end;
s1 := Caller.Lines[p1.y - 1];
s2 := '';
i := p1.x
while (i <= length(s1)) and (s1[i] in [#9, ' ']) do inc(i);
j := i;
if i <= length(s1) then begin
if IsIdent(s1[i]) then // pascal identifier
while (i <= length(s1)) and IsIdent(s1[i]) do inc(i)
else
while (i <= length(s1)) and not(IsIdent(s1[i]) or (s1[i] in [#9,
' '])) do inc(i);
end;
if i > j then s2 := copy(s1, j, i-j);
if not InputQuery( 'Align', 'Token', s2) then exit;
j := 0;
for i := p1.y to p2.y do begin
s1 := Caller.Lines[i - 1];
k := pos(s2, s1);
if (k > j) then j := k;
end;
if j < 1 then exit;
for i := p1.y to p2.y do begin
s1 := Caller.Lines[i - 1];
k := pos(s2, s1);
