Indentation

Automatic indentation
Indentation mode:

Select the automatic indentation mode you want to use as default. It is strongly recommended to use None or Normalhere, and use filetype configurations to set other indentation modes for text formats like C/C++ code or XML.

Insert leading Doxygen "*" when typing

Automatically insert a leading "*" while typing within a doxygen style comment. This setting is only enabled when applicable.

Indentation with Spaces
Use spaces instead of tabs to indent

This replaces tabs with the number of spaces set in Number of spaces: below.

Emacs style mixed mode

Use a mix of tabs and space characters for indentation.

Number of spaces:

Set the number of spaces you want to use for indentation when you check Use spaces instead of tabs to indent above.

Keep Indent Profile

When this is enabled, the editor will not unindent lines in a selection further when the line with the least indentation becomes unindented. If you sometimes unindent blocks of indented code, this may be helpful.

Keep Extra Spaces

Indentations of more than the selected number of spaces will not be shortened.
