Carriage return query

Post by 20121221 »

Hi,

I wondered if there is a setting in Textpad to ensure that when you enter a carriage return, that the cursor goes to the beginning of the next line.

For example, and the moment, assuming I have some text like this:

Code: Select all

And this happened:

	1. This
	2. that
	3. Other
If I press enter after the word "Other", the cursor goes to here:

Code: Select all

And this happened:

	1. This
	2. that
	3. Other
	<--- starts here
but I'd prefer it to start here:

Code: Select all

And this happened:

	1. This
	2. that
	3. Other
<--- starts here
Is that possible?

Thanks

There is such a setting, called Maintain indentation. It is specific to each document class, but you can change it for all documents as follows:
  1. Click Configure > Preferences.
  2. Click the plus sign (+) next to Document Classes.
  3. Click Default.
  4. Under Document class options, clear Maintain indentation.
  5. Select Apply these settings to all document classes.
