I used to program for a living when I had a little more sight -- I used
screen enlargement and indeed indentation was very important for me at that
time. However, now with no print vision left and using speech and a little
braille, it is harder to know when or how much a line of code is indented.
In my years of reading mail from this list I haven't heard how the various
programming-adapted editors handle indentation -- do they keep track of the
level of curly braces and indent automatically?
I am now learning C# and using Jamal's edsharp. It seems to have every
keystroke tied to some function. Perhaps I will learn how he handles
indentation -- or can someone who is already an edsharp user perhaps answer
what edsharp does in the way of indentation?
And of course there are other non-blindness related yet usable programs such
as ultraedit, notetab, textpad, boxer, and whatever else.
These also have a following.
Hope this answers your query.
When I was working, I programmed C++ in large projects with teams of other
programmers, and I can say that indentation style is nothing to dismiss as
only "beautifying" the code -- it reflects logic and can even help in
finding and fixing bugs.
So I am sure the editors of choice have some provision for inserting
indentation.
So what editor did I use? well that was back when vi was the editor of
choice for most people, and it assumed people would insert their own
indentation.
Happy hacking.

Subject: Indentation of code
Hi all:
I'm just wondering how you folks indent your code?
Do you use indentation at all?
I know that indentation is not required for C#, but sighted folks prefer it.
Currently I don't have any code to share between sighted and blind
programmers.
I've just started learning to program and I use C#.
I'm just curious and would like some pointers.
I'm just trying to develop a good habit of how my code should look like.
