[squeak-dev] Reformat method on accept

Hi,

I think I'm simply to confused to find it .... but how do I tell Squeak
to do a pretty print automatically when I save a method? I think I
remember such a setting but can't find it anymore.

Any pointers?

CU,

Udo

Speaking of reformatting, do Smalltalkers generally like the way  
Squeak formats code? In particular, I dislike the way it puts each  
keyword of a keyword message on a separate line. I wish it would take  
into account the line length and leave them all on the same line if a  
line isn't very long. I find myself avoiding the use of refactoring  
because I know I won't like what it does to the code ... and I hate to  
miss out on the benefits of automated refactorings.

Hack it to work however you like, see class
RBFormatter>>maximumArgumentsPerLine, and take a peek at other such methods
defining constants you don't like.

I can't  help you but you should at least say which image and which
code browser you are using.

I'm using your 3.10.2-7179web08.10.1 image with the OB based Browsers.

FWIW - I am fairly new, trying to do first more significant project, and I do
not like auto formatting at all. I am using mostly RB in 3.9, but sometimes
also other browsers, I would love to find a way to switch off
auto-reformatting completely, everywhere. I strongly dislike any tool doing
things to my code by default, on top, on several ocassions, I would swear
comments were removed by auto-formatter, but  did not have enough time to
stop and investigate...
