Hi,
I've played with the latest snapshot of Lazarus and FPC (as release by
Vincent) for the last 3 days now.
I started with a new profile (via --pcp= parameter). Off the bat, one
*major* annoyance of Lazarus IDE now is that I seem to spend more time
trying to figure out how to disable all the damn "I'm trying to be clever"
features of the editor! It seems the Lazarus IDE has gone totally overboard
with the default settings!
I have ticked/unticked a 101 settings already, and still the damn editor
tries to be clever by indenting what it thinks is good coding style, adds
semi-colons where I don't want them etc.. F**ken frustrating!
How or where do I disable all these *annoying features* of the editor. I
just want syntax highlighting.
Well, yes there is a bit of a hichup => the IDE has 2 auto indents...
Editor=> general:
the old auto indent. indents exactly as much as the previous line
was indented
the new one:
Codetools -> general
overrides the above, if switched on, and does the "mind of it's
own" auto indent
yeah, I know: who is expecting it to be in the codetool section,
especially if another auto-indent is n another page?
(there is a link , you can link, on the editor page, but that's no excuse...)

And you probably also want to go to:
Editor => "automatic features"
and look at "add close statement for pascal blocks"
that's all the "end" that get inserted....
And yes that page "automatic features" is another place, where no
one ever would expect anything.... (half of it is display related,
and should be on a page nested into display) => for the rest: a good
name is needed.... (maybe the hints can even get there own page...)
Yes. OTOH codetools are only for pascal. If we move the codetools
options to the editor options, it must be made clear that these are
only for pascal.
I'm not sure how to do that in an intuitive way.
