The one thing that keeps me from switching from my current IDE is the lack of Whitesmiths brace formatting. I'd pay up to $15 for a Whitesmiths plugin. Until then, I can't change. But I'll keep checking.
while (x == y)
{
something();
somethingelse();
}
finalthing();I went through and deleted all of my unused editors a few months ago, so I wasn't able to go back and make a complete/accurate list of the ones I've tried in the past.
All that said, the remote code editing has the best editing UX, but at the same time, super sucks because it requires a special nodejs server to run on your remote system, and that requires yet another watchman daemon, and all this needs to stay version compatible with your Nuclide plugin.
I don’t recommend it, unless you currently work at Facebook. Otherwise, just use Atom.
- increaseIndentPattern: If a line matches this pattern, then all the lines after it should be indented once (until another rule matches).
- decreaseIndentPattern: If a line matches this pattern, then all the lines after it should be unindented once (until another rule matches).
- indentNextLinePattern: If a line matches this pattern, then only the next line after it should be indented once.
- unIndentedLinePattern: If a line matches this pattern, then its indentation should not be changed and it should not be evaluated against the other rules.
They are all regex patterns. If you think your language would let you do that, I can try and throw together something for you.
Is it actually common and I've just never encountered it before?
I don't know much about the history of how it came to be that way, but it's my understanding that pretty much everyone else who's ever worked on the project came either from big iron, or had big iron in their background. Maybe that's where it came from.
I could just be used to it now, but I find it much easier to follow what's happening in the code than Ratliff or K&R.
Horstmann and Lisp aren't bad, either. They make a lot more sense than some of the other options that litter the screen with braces in seemingly random places.
The one downside compared to what I mostly end up working in is that it wastes some vertical space because the opening brace is on a new line.
