However, when you choose to use tabs for indents, there could be different ways for aligning multi-line constructs.

When this option is selected, ReSharper uses indents defined for each language in the corresponding settings pages: Code Editing | | Formatting Style. Indent each language using its own settings (as ReSharper 7 and older did) When this option is selected, ReSharper uses similar indents for all injected languages. Indent all languages equally using settings from main language (as Visual Studio does) These options define how to indent injected languages in a code file - for example, how to indent JavaScript code in an HTML file. On the Code Editing | General Formatter Style page of ReSharper options ( Alt+R, O ), you can choose one of the two options under How to indent multi-language files.

You can flexibly configure indentation and alignment settings separately for each specific code construct on the Code Editing | | Formatting Style | Tabs and Indents page of ReSharper options ( Alt+R, O ), but there are two cases, in which several different preferences may influence the indentation and alignment. Indentation and alignment in complex scenarios You should take this into account if synchronization of Visual Studio settings is enabled. editorconfig files that affect the current file, then indents from these sources are temporary saved in Visual Studio settings while the affected file is open and active in Visual Studio. Note also, that if you enable auto-detecting indents, or indents in ReSharper settings, or if you have. editorconfig files that affect the current file.

Note that ReSharper will NOT auto-detect indents if you reformat the whole file or multiple files, or if there are. You can also toggle the auto-detecting indents preference and view its status in the File Formatting Info window. This feature comes in handy when you want to contribute to existing projects where indentation differs from your settings. You can enable or disable automatic detecting of indents with the Auto-detect indent size and style checkbox on the Code Editing | General Formatter Style page of ReSharper options ( Alt+R, O ). When you reformat a part of code in a file or when code is auto-formatted on editing or pasting, ReSharper can calculate and apply indentation based on the existing indents in the rest of that file. To fix indentation of the current line or for all lines in a selected code block (you can press Control+W multiple times to select a logical block) without applying other formatting preferences, press Alt+Enter and choose Format selection | Reindent only. To do so, select ReSharper | Windows | File Formatting Info from the menu. Īs there are many ways to configure indentation settings, you may want to learn where the configuration settings for the current file are coming from. If you want ReSharper to ignore EditorConfig or Clang-Format styles, clear the corresponding checkbox on the Code Editing | C++ | Formatting Style | General page of ReSharper options. If there are EditorConfig or Clang-Format files that affect the current file, the indent_size and indent_style (for EditorConfig) or TabWidth, IndentWidth, UseTab (for Clang-Format) properties will override both Visual Studio and ReSharper indentation settings, with Clang-Format styles having higher priority than EditorConfig styles. However, if you prefer to share formatter preferences with your team using ReSharper's layered settings, you can clear the Use indent style and size from Visual Studio checkbox on the Code Editing | | Formatting Style | Tabs and Indents page of ReSharper options, and then configure and save your indentation preferences to the team-shared setting layer. Sources of indentation settingsīy default, ReSharper uses Visual Studio preferences for tabs and indents ( Tools | Options | Text Editor | All Languages | Tabs and Tools | Options | Text Editor | | Tabs). ReSharper helps you configure and maintain proper indentation in many ways. Indentation is one of the most important aspects of formatting style - properly indented code will be readable even if other formatting is inconsistent. You can study all formatting style settings that affect the current file in the File Formatting Info window ( ReSharper | Windows | File Formatting Info).
