Tabs, text editor options
Use the Tabs dialog box in Visual Studio to change the default tab settings for the text editor.
- Settings here can affect the way options on the Formatting dialog work (see Formatting page of Visual Studio text editor options).
- EditorConfig settings override settings in this dialog box. See Using EditorConfig with Synergy projects.
To access the Tabs dialog box, select Tools > Options, and then select Text Editor > Synergy DBL > Tabs in the navigation pane of the Options dialog box.
Indenting
None
When you press ENTER to start a new line, the cursor moves to the first column of the new line.
Block
When you press ENTER to start a new line, the new line is indented to the tab stop used to indent the previous line.
Smart
Lines are indented automatically.
Tab
Tab size
Specifies the number of spaces represented by a tab character.
Indent size
Specifies the number of spaces to indent when an indent operation is invoked (e.g., when TAB is pressed). The space for an indent can consist of tab characters, space characters, or both.
Insert spaces
Only spaces are used for indents (rather than tabs and spaces).
Keep tabs
Tabs are used as much as possible for indents. Spaces are used to complete an indent when the Tab size setting is not a multiple of the Indent size setting.
