I've had this behavior with most every editor I've had. I lived with it. However, when I went to vim, I found out that it will automatically indent braces and code properly. I thought, "Gee, that's nice. Save me some work". But as it turns out, it's saved me a lot of debug time. When the indenting goes wonky in vim, I know I've failed to close a brace somewhere, or put too many in. It has about the same benefit to me as syntax highlighting (which ensures I don't misspell key words). Paul -- Paul M.

I installed as a promise to a friend that I would give it an honest try and it's been about a year since. The thing I like the most about it is on a fresh install it only installs the absolute necessities and the user can build onto that. I also found that totem works much better than kaffeine and as far as Amarok vs Rhythmbox I don't notice anything that stands out between the 2 and they both work equally well. All in all, what I like about Gnome is that the developers seem to stick to the the KISS principle, starting with a Pinto and giving you the option to build a customized Porsche. -- Blessings, David M. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I set it to use tabs of 4 spaces wide and use c-style indenting. It
doesn't automatically indent as I write, but I find it a good thing that
an editor doesn't change anything I write, as that is where problems can
occur! I'm quite a fan of the Allman style of indenting, and Kate is
able to line up the closing brackets for functions, etc if I type them
out of position.

I haven't tried this one. I am just so stuck on Kate. I've tried a ton of editors and Kate is simply the best one for me hands down. I'll check out php Eclipse. Never know I may be impressed with it. After about 10 or more years of using KDE, I am have been running Gnome for about a year now, but I always always install Kontact and kate. -- Blessings, David M. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Thanks Ash. What is your preferences for indenting code? Do you have it set
so you don't have to hit the tab key at all? I set my numbers in kate to 4
what about you?

I use Kate too, and the indentation changed slightly in KDE 4. In the
configure dialogue window, go down to the Editing section in the left
menu and set the number of spaces to use in both the General tab (under
Tabulators) and the Indentation tab (under Indentation Properties. If
they are both different then you have to hit the tab key 4 times in
order for your spaces to be replaced by a tab character.
