How to limit line limit to 80 charactres. Do keil has any setting for this which gives an indication of max length on top, or it has to be done manually.
It seems we have opposite bad experiences.
I have seen 4 spaces turn into 3 and back to 4 and up to 5 with just an empty line in between. I've seen odd pieces of code with only 2 spaces ...
It went so far that I wrote a script that reformats the entire code to something sensible.
I will stick to whatever the convention is within a project, but if the decision is up to me, I prefer 8 character wide real tabs. You clearly see if you mess up and that you're nesting too many loops and conditions and would be better off reconsidering what you're doing.

Even with my 'rule' (rare exceptions allowed) of max 4 indentions you would start at pos 32 and a reasonable complex expression with descriptive names woukd run off the screen. The last 4 places I have worked has been tab 2 and tab 3.
anyhow, your statement is invalid since any sensible person would use the tab key and set the editor to "convert tabs to spaces" and thus, the "position precision" would be there.

Here is where your argument fails: any sensible person
OK, I'll correct: The 100+ people I have worked with have all used the tab key and set the editor to "convert tabs to spaces".
If, In your opinion. these were not "sensible persons" that will be your (faulty) judegment.
CAREFUL NOW GIRLS. NO NEED FOR A PUNCH UP.
LOOK IN THE BOOK AND YOU WILL SEE I AM RIGHT.
You are extremely lucky.
no way will I read a book that is all caps. That is tiring and annoying
PS to those that say "why do you waste time on complaining about all caps": My many posts should indicate how irritating it is to me and most others.
PPS can some reasonable person post the reason that many 'easteners' LOVE all caps
I SEE THAT YOU ARE WRONG. THE BOOK IS DESCRIBED AS "A witty attack on the illusion that the self is a separate ego that confronts a universe of alien physical objects." AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION HERE.
