sakapoko / vscode-emacs-indent Goto Github PK

If I have two blank lines in a row and hit tab on the second blank line, the cursor is taken back to column 1. This isn't what I expect: I want to jump to the appropriate indentation for the document, ignoring any blank lines above it. The built-in VSCode behavior of hitting enter on a blank line does jump me to the appropriate indent.

For example, take a JSON document:

1 {
2     "hello": "world",
3
4
5     "goodbye": "for now"
6 }

On row 3, hitting tab correctly indents inline with the other JSON keys.

On row 4, hitting tab takes the cursor back to column 1. I would expect the behavior to be the same between rows 3 and 4. (Note that row 3 has to be completely blank for this to be the case: if row 3 has indentation in it, row 4 will indent to that level.)

This isn't limited to JSON documents.

The extension works fine with JSON, but I'm unable to get it working on source file like Python or C. The tab key is just a dead key.

tested on

• VScode 1.61.2
• Electron 13.5.1
