I recently installed latest C51 and the uVision Beta release but cannot get the auto-indent featue to work unless I have virtual spaces enabled. Clues anybody?
"I really miss my auto-indent!" So why don't you just turn on the "virtual space," then? I always have "virtual space" space enabled in UV2 anyway!
I don't like virtual spaces and have never enabled them. Old typing habits die hard and I like being able to navigate through my code using the left & right arrow keys. Auto-indenting without virtual spaces worked fine in UV2!
AutoIndent really only works when Virtual Spaces is ON. This is a bug that we will solve. Thank you for pointing to this issue. Reinhard
Virtual spaces are quite annoying to me when navigating through the code, so I don't use them. But I expect the auto indentation to work with or without any other editor settings beeing enabled.
Clearly a matter of preference - but I find it really annoying without "virtual spaces! I don't like the way the cursor keeps disappearing back to the LH margin without virtual space on! "But I expect the auto indentation to work with or without any other editor settings beeing enabled." Quite so - and it seems that Keil agree, too!
Many, many moons ago when "single chip" was unheard of and "embedded" was a minicomputer weighting quite 20+ pounds, I made a parameter entry program, tested it and delivered it to testing with a smile. 10 minutes later "the crap" came back. I tested and tested, could find nothing wrong and resubmitted. This time it came back with a nastygram. At a loss, I asked testing to break the rule of no contact with programming and show me. It turned out that the program spec said "separated by tab or space" I used the space, the tester used the tab. 10 minute fix and they lived happily ever after. Erik
