Or you could use alt+shift+i and let the editor indent for you. no need to use braces. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Hall" <mehgcap@xxxxxxxxx>

I indent manually, which is a bit of a pain, but Edsharp offers Python programmers a feature to convert; you use braces in your python code like you might in any other language, then you hit the pydent command and you get a properly indented file with no braces. However, I found that managing the pyb (pybrace file, containing the python with braces) and py (the python file without braces) was rather annoying as I was always getting "are you sure you want to replace this file" messages and saving was a big hastle. If the pydent file management could be cleaned up, and the indentation customized, it would be an excellent feature, but as it stands I use spaces (so jaws does not announce "blank", as it will for tabs) and do it all manually.

I used to program for a living when I had a little more sight -- I usedscreen enlargement and indeed indentation was very important for me at that time. However, now with no print vision left and using speech and a littlebraille, 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 variousprogramming-adapted editors handle indentation -- do they keep track of thelevel 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 handlesindentation -- or can someone who is already an edsharp user perhaps answerwhat edsharp does in the way of indentation?And of course there are other non-blindness related yet usable programs suchas 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. --le ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ųyvind Lode" <oyvind.lode@xxxxxxxx> To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <program-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2010 10:55 AM 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. __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
