Hello,

I did not follow the whole thread since the list is growing every day and due to time difference, I find about 60 new contributions when I wake up each morning...

But I have to say that I *never* had any problem with the indent feature: As long as you consider that indenting is there to help the programmer to see which control structures are missing or not set properly, it *must* be an automatic feature :-) It's a well known behaviour since more than 20 years with all XTalks (including the tabKey shortcut).
And Rev is an XTalk :-)

Fortunately, Rev auto-complete control structures (repeat, switch, on, etc.)
This is a welcome enhancement that HC did not provide.
Stay the "if" conditional structures with many ways to write them (see my article on RevJournal) that are not auto completed for this matter. The rule I follow since years is to complete by myself the control structure before writing the statements.
Above all, it makes nested structures easier to manage.

You might be interested by the Constellation script editor from Jerry Daniels : it offers to specify how many spaces have to be used for indentation. http://www.daniels-mara.com/products/constellation.htm

In addition, you might require as a feature the ability to turn off indentation since only "live" indentation can be turned off at the moment. But I'm sure that a huge majority of programmers who are used to would not turn off this feature ;-)

[OT] The only annoying feature I know relates to colorisation when you use the /* structure to comment many lines at once: Then all yours scripts appear as comments :-( As for the debugger (which is another topic), it's true that it's very buggy, sometimes unusable and that's a very pity.
