I know that all the world are c programmers <G> but ..

is it possible to change the indent characters?

I have been using Textpad for years and would love to be able to have it auto-indent and maintain using 'words' instead of curly braces.

A large part of my business in in "MV" (or PICK) basic. Lots of loop, end/else etc and would love to have textpad indent accordingly

Any way to get this to happen?

What i am asking here is ..

Is the Automatic Indent feature a hard coded feature or is there a way to change the KEY that forces indent/outdent?

thanks

Wow a Pick programmer

I was a Pick programmer years ago, forgot exactly when, but I used textpad heavily in those days. I still keep it around for all the obvious reasons. I still use it on VL text files and continue to amaze all with what I can do with it.

I agree .. textpad is a brilliant product. There are some areas like triggers for Auto-Indent that bother me. When things like this are hard coded then it limits things that could be done.

I just hope that some day the developer will continue enhancing and parameterizing
