auto-tabbing and parens/brackets

Post by Nick »

Hi, I've noticed the auto-tabbing that TextPad does in .java files is a little cheap (seems like all it does is if a line ends in a '{', then it tabs on the next line, regardless). Anyone know how to make this more sophisticated, a la emacs/xemacs? Also, some indication of paren/bracket closing and what they're closing, etc (again, as in emacs/xemacs) would be *very* helpful to the serious Java programmer too... I'm not trying to knock on TextPad--I still prefer it to emacs because it's easier to use--but I hate that I have to sacrifice those incredibly useful features for more ease of use. That, and being able to push tab anywhere on a line and have TextPad adjust the whole line to the proper tab location.

Thanks.
