If write a repeat loop (Python) everything indents properly. Then I want to surround the repeat loop with an if statement. How do I fix the indentation after that so the repeat loop is properly indented?
Select the "block" after the if statement and hit option-tab to indent it.
That certainly works. Is there a way to just get TextMate to re- examine the text as if I were typing it from scratch, and thus indent it all appropriately without me having to figure out where changes are needed?
When should it do that? At all times? And enforcing the estimated indent for all lines in your document?
I would think when pasting, or on command.
There is no such “feature”.
If however you often wrap code in an if loop, you could create a snippet which wraps the selection and adjusts the indent. There is a begin … rescue … end snippet in the Ruby bundle which does that -- select text, press ctrl-shift W, and it will “wrap” the selection in begin/rescue/end when the wrapped text given an extra indent.
I see I have it backwards in the example I gave above. I actually ran into this when pasting some code into a pre-existing script. So the above wouldn't help in that instance. I'll look at it to see if there's a way I can adapt it.
Thanks!
