Tabs in texteditor do not indent [message #527615] Thu, 15 April 2010 14:16 Go to next message

Hi!

Why would texteditor do not tabulate at all - zero space is added on
existing or added tab cahracters - if we turn on "show whitespace
characters" - the tab character overlays with text that was added after
the tab.

The text editor in question is DLTK extension of eclipse texteditor.

We had it once in 3.4 - we removed workspace and it did not happen again.

in 3.5 we have it all the time!

Any suspects :)

Thank you very much!

Gennady

How many spaces are your tabs set to show? (Window->Preferences,
General/Editors/Text Editors, Displayed tab width)

Hi Gennady,

Probably it's a bug in the indentation code.

Could you please provide more details about DLTK version and what
particular language provided by DLTK do you use?

Thank you,
Alex

All other texteditors - e.g. java - are fine - just dltk one has this issue

Hi Gennady,

I am not sure what happens in your environment.

You should check that
- your preference store has values for preferences listed in
org.eclipse.dltk.ui.CodeFormatterConstants
- your IAutoEditStrategies/VerifyKeyListeners handle tab key correctly

Or just debug it.

Regards,
Alex

Same issue here. I have my own DLTK editor and no tabs are shown.

When a tab is hit the source gets modified, but the modification is not visible. Cursor position remains the same and no indentation is done.

When extending AbstractDLTKUILanguageToolkit I needed to implement a getPreferenceStore() method, which gives me the default IPreferencesStore from AbstracUIPlugin (Activator) - which should be fine.

ScriptEditor (DLTK) calls this from createCombinedPreferenceStore().

I do not think that my local PreferencesStore needs to have some properties regarding tabbing. Should be handled by the base classes, right?

Might be a bug...

Ran into the same issue just now.

There is a property in the preferences store called

"formatter.tabulation.size", which is set to 0 by default. This means a tab is inserted, but it is 0 spaces in length. Not a very useful default value Sad

Still there is an easy way to fix this:

In your IDLTKUILanguageToolkit implementation there should be a method called

public IPreferenceStore getPreferenceStore()

Wherever you get your preferences from, make sure "formatter.tabulation.size" is set to a useful value like 4.

You can do this by adding

getPreferenceStore().setValue("formatter.tabulation.size", 4);

to your code. Even better provide a preferences page to set this!

regards

Hi Christian,

The recommended way to initialized preferences is as follows:

public class myUIPreferenceInitializer extends AbstractPreferenceInitializer {
	@Override
	public void initializeDefaultPreferences() {
		IPreferenceStore store = myUI.getDefault().getPreferenceStore();
...
		store.setDefault(CodeFormatterConstants.FORMATTER_TAB_CHAR, CodeFormatterConstants.SPACE);
		store.setDefault(CodeFormatterConstants.FORMATTER_TAB_SIZE, "2");
		store.setDefault(CodeFormatterConstants.FORMATTER_INDENTATION_SIZE, "2");
	}
}


and

<extension point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.preferences">
<initializer class="....myUIPreferenceInitializer"/>
</extension>


Regards,
Alex

And the preference page:

import org.eclipse.dltk.ui.preferences.AbstractConfigurationBlockPreferencePage;
import org.eclipse.dltk.ui.preferences.EditorConfigurationBlock;
import org.eclipse.dltk.ui.preferences.IPreferenceConfigurationBlock;
import org.eclipse.dltk.ui.preferences.OverlayPreferenceStore;

public class myEditorPreferencesPage extends AbstractConfigurationBlockPreferencePage {

	@Override
	protected void setPreferenceStore() {
		setPreferenceStore(myUI.getDefault().getPreferenceStore());
	}

	@Override
	protected IPreferenceConfigurationBlock createConfigurationBlock(OverlayPreferenceStore overlayPreferenceStore) {
		return new EditorConfigurationBlock(this, overlayPreferenceStore);
	}
}
