Hi Bob,
If you go to the Script Editor pane of the Preferences panel you can
disable the auto-format feature there.
Disabling this option stops the Script Editor from attempting to auto-
format your code as you type - including not doing auto-complete.
However, there is still one caveat, if you press tab then it auto-
formats the current handler, rather than putting a 'tab-level' indent
in.
And if you want it to turn off completely (as I think it should), you
ought to
1. ensure there is a BZ enhancement request to that effect
2. go to where you installed Rev / components / properties palettes
(e.g. in my case, c:/Program Files/Revolution 2.6/components/properties
palettes/
3. Make a safe copy of the stack file revscripteditor.rev
4. Make another safe copy of it somewhere else :-)
5. Start up rev, and open this stack, then use the application browser
to select card "revscript" within it
6. find the field "script" in the right hand pane, and right-click on it
to edit its script
7. Find the handler on tabKey
8. insert immediately after the header line for the handler the
following two lines
global gREVAutoFormat
if not gREVAutoFormat then exit tabKey
9. Apply this change, save the stack
10. Exit Rev and restart it.
11. Make sure that auto-format is not selected (Edit / Preferences /
Script Editor and uncheck auto-format)
and now you should find that TAB no longer auto-formats for you if you
happen to type it by mistake).
(Done and tested on 2.6 recent - I can't remember how to find the build
number)
I could make a stack to do this automatically, but it's probably better
to do it yourself so you know what has gone on. If you wanted you could
easily do something like
if not gREVAutoFormat then
beep
exit tabKey
end if
just to get a reminder that the tab didn't do what you might have
expected. I thought about making it insert a "space" or even insert
multiple spaces intelligently - but decided that looked complicated
enough that I would need to do a lot of testing - and it just doesn't
seem that important for something that (I hope) will change in some
fairly near-future release.
