SQLDeveloper changing case (breaking formatting) - sql

Using SQLDeveloper 2.1.1.64, if you try typing the following code:
DECLARE
v_status_code NUMBER;
v_status_text VARCHAR2(30);
v_to_delete NUMBER := 5;
BEGIN
PACKAGE_NAME.Delete(v_to_delete, v_status_code, v_status_text);
END;
Pressing Enter after the PACKAGE_NAME.Delete(...) line will make Delete go into all caps (DELETE). I have turned off Case Change in the SQL Formatter options but this still happens. I get other problems similar to this one, where it will randomly reformat lines of code, but I couldn't think of an example as consistent as this. The specific package name doesn't matter, and it does this even if PACKAGE_NAME is in UpperCamelCase.
I don't know if this is a bug with SQLDeveloper or if I'm missing some settings somewhere. It seems as though the SQL Formatter settings under Tools > Preferences > Database > SQL Formatter > Oracle Formatting don't do it, so I don't know what to do. It's getting annoying having to catch some of these format changes, which I sometimes only notice when doing a diff.

Under Tools > Preferences > Code Editor > Completion Insight there is an option for 'Change case as you type'.
But I do not think it will do what you are looking for. Unchecked it will either make it all lower case or all uppercase depending on what you have inputted so far. I am not sure if it will do it the way you are wanting.

I believe you want to disable the annoying option that is changing to UPPERCASE text when you type. Go to Tools > Preferences > Code Editor > Completion Insight > Uncheck "Change case as you type"

Go to Tools > Preferences > Code Editor > Format > Advanced Format > General > change from "lower" to "Keep Unchanged"
Format using Ctrl + F7, it will not change identifier case.

System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine not schon in debug mode in output window (Ctrl+Alt+O)

I accidently closed the output window in VS2013.
After quite some time I found the Ctrl+Alt+O - shurtcut to get the output window back.
Since then System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine output is not shown there.
The project is set to build "Debug" and Output-Window is set to show output from debug.
Any Idea? Thank you
Edit: I tried Debug.Writeline stops working
Line is hit when using a breakpoint, Platform tried Any/mixed/x86 - all with no output
Edit2: There is no "clear" in app.config, However a FileLogWriter. Removing that does not solve the problem either
"Redirect all Output Window text to the Immediate Window" in
Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> General. is enabled
Console.Write does not work as well ( I read that Console.Write does only work for Console applications?!)
Right-click in the output window "Program output" is checked.
Sysinternals DebugView Shows the output
The output window was teh wrong place to look at.
DEBUG-->WINDOW-->IMMEDIATE
Important setting:
"Redirect all Output Window text to the Immediate Window" under
Tools > Options > Debugging > General. To display "Tools > Options > Debugging", (need check the box next to "Tools > Options > Show All Settings")
by bluish and boardernin, Where does System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write output appear?

How to change indentation in Visual Studio Code?

For every typescript file visual studio code uses an auto indentation of 8 spaces. This is a bit too much for my taste but I can't find where to change it.
Maybe it's available as a setting but under a different name as I can't find anything related to indentation.
UPDATE
I'm currently using the Prettier code formatter and that solves all formatting problems by auto formatting on save (if there is no syntax error)
In the toolbar in the bottom right corner you will see a item that looks like the following:
After clicking on it you will get the option to indent using either spaces or tabs. After selecting your indent type you will then have the option to change how big an indent is. In the case of the example above, indentation is set to 4 space characters per indent. If tab is selected as your indentation character then you will see Tab Size instead of Spaces
If you want to have this apply to all files and not on an individual file basis, then override the Editor: Tab Size and Editor: Insert Spaces settings in either User Settings or Workspace Settings depending on your needs
Edit 1
To get to your user or workspace settings go to Preferences -> Settings. Verify that you are on the User or Workspace tab depending on your needs and use the search bar to locate the settings. You may also want to disable Editor: Detect Indentation as this setting will override what you set for Editor: Insert Spaces and Editor: Tab Size when it is enabled
You can change this in global User level or Workspace level.
Open the settings: Click the gear on the bottom left, then click Settings as shown below.
Then, do the following 2 changes: (type tabSize in the search bar)
Uncheck the checkbox of Detect Indentation
Change the tab size to be 2/4 (Although I strongly think 2 is correct for JS. Haha :))
To change the indentation based on programming language:
Open the Command Palette (CtrlShiftP | macOS: ⇧⌘P).
Type and select: Preferences: Configure Language Specific Settings... (command id: workbench.action.configureLanguageBasedSettings).
Select a programming language (for example TypeScript).
If Settings menu is opened (since 1.66.0):
4. Press → to place the cursor right beside the language filter (e.g. #lang:typescript).
5. Type Tab Size and enter your preferred value in the text box.
If settings.json file is opened:
4. Add this code:
"[typescript]": {
"editor.tabSize": 2
}

Code Formatting Shortcut:
VSCode on Windows - Shift + Alt + F
VSCode on MacOS - Shift + Option + F
VSCode on Ubuntu - Ctrl + Shift + I
You can also customize this shortcut using preference setting if needed.
column selection with keyboard
Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Arrow
You might also want to set the editor.detectIndentation to false, in addition to Elliot-J's answer.
VSCode will overwrite your editor.tabSize and editor.insertSpaces settings per file if it detects that a file has a different tab or spaces indentation pattern. You can run into this issue if you add existing files to your project, or if you add files using code generators like Angular Cli. The above setting prevents VSCode from doing this.
In my case "EditorConfig for VS Code" extention is overriding VSCode settings.
If you have it installed, then check .editorconfig file in the root folder of the project.
Here is an example config. The "indent_size" sets the number of spaces for a tab.
# editorconfig.org
root = true
[*]
indent_style = space
indent_size = 4
end_of_line = lf
charset = utf-8
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
insert_final_newline = true
[*.md]
trim_trailing_whitespace = false

Simplified explanation with pictures for those that googled "Change indentation in VS Code"
Step 1: Click on Preferences > Settings
Step 2: The setting you are looking for is "Detect Indentation", begin typing that. Click on "Editor: Tab Size"
Step 3: Scroll down to "Editor: Tab Size" and type in 2 (or whatever you need).
Changes are automatically saved
Example of my changes
To set all existing files and new files to space identation to 2 just put it in your settingns.json (in the root of json):
"[typescript]": {
"editor.defaultFormatter": "vscode.typescript-language-features",
"editor.tabSize": 2,
"editor.insertSpaces": true,
"editor.detectIndentation":false
}
you can add the language type of the configuration:
"[javascript]": {
"editor.tabSize": 2,
"editor.insertSpaces": true,
"editor.detectIndentation":false
}
Setting the indentation in preferences isn't allways the solution. Most of the time the indentation is right except you happen to copy some code code from other sources or your collegue make something for you and has different settings. Then you want to just quickly convert the indentation from 2 to 4 or the other way round.
That's what this vscode extension is doing for you
Step 1: Open settings.json in vscode
Step 2: Add the lines as below for the programming language (an example is below)
For typescript and javascript
"editor.detectIndentation": false,
"[typescript]": {
"editor.defaultFormatter": "vscode.typescript-language-features",
"editor.tabSize": 2,
"editor.insertSpaces": true,
"editor.detectIndentation":false
},
"[javascript]": {
"editor.tabSize": 2,
"editor.insertSpaces": true,
"editor.detectIndentation":false
}
Problem: The accepted answer does not actually fix the indentation in the current document.
Solution: Run Format Document to re-process the document according to current (new) settings.
Problem: The HTML docs in my projects are of type "Django HTML" not "HTML" and there is no formatter available.
Solution: Switch them to syntax "HTML", format them, then switch back to "Django HTML."
Problem: The HTML formatter doesn't know how to handle Django template tags and undoes much of my carefully applied nesting.
Solution: Install the Indent 4-2 extension, which performs indentation strictly, without regard to the current language syntax (which is what I want in this case).
I wanted to change the indentation of my existing HTML file from 4 spaces to 2 spaces.
I clicked the 'Spaces: 4' button in the status bar and changed them to two in the next dialog box.
I use 'vim' extension. I don't how to re-indent without vim
To re-indent my current file, I used this:
gg
=
G
Check tabWidth if you are using a formatter, that was the issue in my case. It represents the number of spaces used in tabs.
Adding on: yes, you can use the bottom-right UI to configure the space settings. But if you have existing code that's not formatted to the new spacing, then you can right-click anywhere within the file and click Format Document. Took me a while to figure this out until I stumbled on this issue.
Format Document menu
For me it was docs-markdown andDocs Authoring Pack. Microsoft's many modules messing with each other yet again! Disabled the extensions and now good to go again 😀
The Problem of auto deintending is caused due to a checkbox being active in the settings of VSCode.
Follow these steps:
goto preferences
goto settings
search 'editor:trim auto whitespace'
Uncheck The box
The following search-and-replace regex changes the number of spaces per indentation level from 4 to 2 in existing files. It's relatively easy to understand, reliable, and doesn't require installing anything.
Instructions
Press CtrlH (or ⌥⌘F on macOS).
Make sure regex matching is on by clicking on the .* button in the search popup or pressing AltR (or ⌥⌘R on macOS).
In the Find field, enter ^(?:( ) )?(?:( ) )?(?:( ) )?(?:( ) )?(?:( ) )?(?:( ) )?(?:( ) )?(?:( ) )?(?:( ) )?
In the Replace field, enter $1$2$3$4$5$6$7$8$9
Finally press CtrlEnter (or ⌘Enter on macOS) to apply to the current file.
You could also use this in the Search pane on the left to do this across all files in your project. However, note that this should only be run once per file. It will mess up the indentation of files that already use 2 spaces.
 
Extra Credit: How It Works
The way the regular expression works is it matches groups (?: ... ) of four spaces at a time at the beginning ^ ... of each line, only capturing ( ... ) the first two spaces. Each indentation level is optional ... ?, so it works for as many indentation levels as the pattern is repeated and there are in each line. Then it replaces the whole pattern with only the captured spaces $1, $2, ..., effectively replacing every four-space indentation level with two spaces.
This pattern only works up to 9 indentation levels (I'm not sure if $10 would work, but if so this could be expanded indefinitely).
Extra Extra Credit: Extending
You could adapt the pattern to decrease the number of spaces per indentation level in a file from any original number to another lower target number.
Put the target number of spaces inside the inner parenthesis. Then, put the remaining original number of spaces in the outer parenthesis, so the total number of spaces in the pattern is the original.
For example, if you want to change the indentation level from 6 to 4, repeat this search pattern as many times as you like:
^(?:( ) )? or ^(?:( {4}) {2})?
And use the same number of $1, $2 in the replacement pattern.
First, check if you have installed "EditorConfig for VS Code". It was overriding my editor settings. I spent all day correcting this problem.
In the project find .editorconfig file and ones changed there it will work.
I like these settings for indentation you can modify them according to need.
You can open VScode setting.json file by typing CTRL+SHIFT+P and paste below the JSON setting
setting.json
"[javascript]": {
"editor.defaultFormatter": "vscode.typescript-language-features",
"editor.formatOnSave": true,
"editor.tabSize": 4,
"editor.insertSpaces": false,
"editor.detectIndentation": false,
"editor.wrappingIndent": "deepIndent",
"editor.autoIndent": "full"
},
"[typescript]": {
"editor.defaultFormatter": "vscode.typescript-language-features",
"editor.formatOnSave": true,
"editor.tabSize": 4,
"editor.insertSpaces": false,
"editor.detectIndentation": false,
"editor.wrappingIndent": "deepIndent",
"editor.autoIndent": "full"
}
With VSCode 1.75 (Jan. 2023), indentation is also customizable on VSCode terminals, not just VSCode views.
See issues 170432: "Add a terminal tab stop size (editor.tabSize) setting"
When a tab is printed in the terminal, it has a tab size of 8 spaces, regardless of the tab size setting.
Therefore, PR 170733 adds a new setting:
terminal.integrated.tabStopWidth: The number of cells in a tab stop

How to change line width in IntelliJ (from 120 character)

I was wondering how I can change the line length in IntelliJ.
Since I use a pretty high resolution, I get that line that shows 120 characters straight through the middle of the screen. Can I change it from 120 to, say, 250?
IntelliJ IDEA 2018
File > Settings... > Editor > Code Style > Hard wrap at
IntelliJ IDEA 2016 & 2017
File > Settings... > Editor > Code Style > Right margin (columns):
You can alter the "Right margin" attribute in the preferences, which can be found via
File | Settings | Project Settings | Code Style - General
Right Margin (columns) In this text box, specify the number of columns
to be used to display pages in the editor.
Source: Jetbrains
It seems like Jetbrains made some renaming and moved settings around so the accepted answer is no longer 100% valid anymore.
Intellij 2018.3:
hard wrap - idea will automatically wrap the line as you type, this is not what the OP was asking for
visual guide - just a vertical line indicating a characters limit, default is 120
If you just want to change the visual guide from the default 120 to lets say 80 in my example:
Also you can change the color or the visual guide by clicking on the Foreground:
Lastly, you can also set the visual guide for all file types (unless specified) here:
It may be useful to notice that very good answers given above may not be enough. It is because of one more tick is required here:
Be aware that need to change both location:
File > Settings... > Editor > Code Style > "Hard Wrap at"
and
File > Settings... > Editor > Code Style > (your language) > Wrapping and Braces > Hard wrap at
I didn't understand why my this didn't work but I found out that this setting is now also under the programming language itself at:
'Editor' | 'Code Style' | < your language > | 'Wrapping and Braces' | 'Right margin (columns)'
Open .editorconfig in the root of your project (or create one if you don't have any) and add:
max_line_length = 80
The IDE should pick it up immediately (works in PhpStorm, developed by the same company). As a bonus, it can be committed to GIT and will stay consistent across different editors you may be using in the future. More info on .editorconfig.

How to auto-indent code in the Atom editor?

How do you auto-indent your code in the Atom editor? In other editors you can usually select some code and auto-indent it.
Is there a keyboard shortcut as well?
I found the option in the menu, under Edit > Lines > Auto Indent. It doesn't seem to have a default keymap bound.
You could try to add a key mapping (Atom > Open Your Keymap [on Windows: File > Settings > Keybindings > "your keymap file"]) like this one:
'atom-text-editor':
'cmd-alt-l': 'editor:auto-indent'
It worked for me :)
For Windows:
'atom-text-editor':
'ctrl-alt-l': 'editor:auto-indent'
The accepted answer works, but you have to do a "Select All" first -- every time -- and I'm way too lazy for that.
And it turns out, it's not super trivial -- I figured I'd post this here in an attempt to save like-minded individuals the 30 minutes it takes to track all this down. -- Also note: this approach restores the original selection when it's done (and it happens so fast, you don't even notice the selection was ever changed).
1.) First, add a custom command to your init script (File->Open Your Init Script, then paste this at the bottom):
atom.commands.add 'atom-text-editor', 'custom:reformat', ->
editor = atom.workspace.getActiveTextEditor();
oldRanges = editor.getSelectedBufferRanges();
editor.selectAll();
atom.commands.dispatch(atom.views.getView(editor), 'editor:auto-indent')
editor.setSelectedBufferRanges(oldRanges);
2.) Bind "custom:reformat" to a key (File->Open Your Keymap, then paste this at the bottom):
'atom-text-editor':
'ctrl-alt-d': 'custom:reformat'
3.) Restart Atom (the init.coffee script only runs when atom is first launched).
Package auto-indent exists to apply auto-indent to entire file with this shortcuts :
ctrl+shift+i
or
cmd+shift+i
Package url : https://atom.io/packages/auto-indent
I prefer using atom-beautify, CTRL+ALT+B (in linux, may be in windows also) handles better al kind of formats and it is also customizable per file format.
more details here: https://atom.io/packages/atom-beautify
You can just quickly open up the command palette and do it there
Cmd + Shift + p and search for Editor: Auto Indent:
This works for me:
'atom-workspace atom-text-editor':
'ctrl-alt-a': 'editor:auto-indent'
You have to select all with ctrl-a first.
This is the best help that I found:
https://atom.io/packages/atom-beautify
This package can be installed in Atom and then CTRL+ALT+B solve the problem.
On Linux
(tested in Ununtu KDE)
There is the option in the menu, under Edit > Lines > Auto Indent or press Cmd + Shift + p, search for Editor: Auto Indent by entering just "ai"
Note: In KDE ctrl-alt-l is already globally set for "lock screen" so better use ctrl-alt-i instead.
You can add a key mapping in Atom:
Cmd + Shift + p, search for "Settings View: Show Keybindings"
click on "your keymap file"
Add a section there like this one:
'atom-text-editor':
'ctrl-alt-i': 'editor:auto-indent'
If the indention is not working, it can be a reason, that the file-ending is not recognized by Atom. Add the support for your language then, for example for "Lua" install the package "language-lua".
If a File is not recognized for your language:
open the ~/.atom/config.cson file (by CTRL+SHIFT+p: type ``open config'')
add/edit a customFileTypes section under core for example like the following:
core:
customFileTypes:
"source.lua": [
"conf"
]
"text.html.php": [
"thtml"
]
(You find the languages scope names ("source.lua", "text.html.php"...) in the language package settings see here)
If you have troubles with hotkeys, try to open Key Binding Resolver Window with Cmd + .. It will show you keys you're pressing in the realtime.
For example, Cmd + Shift + ' is actually Cmd + "
You could also try to add a key mapping witch auto select all the code in file and indent it:
'atom-text-editor':
'ctrl-alt-l': 'auto-indent:apply'
I was working on some groovy code, which doesn't auto-format on save. What I did was right-click on the code pane, then chose ESLint Fix. That fixed my indents.
If you are used to the Eclipse IDE or the Netbeans, you can use the package eclipse-keybindings (https://atom.io/packages/eclipse-keybindings):
This Atom package provides Eclipse IDE key mappings for Atom. Currently, the Eclipse shortcuts are directly mapped to existing Atom commands.
To format all lines from a file, just use: Ctrl+Shift+F.
Ctrl+Shift+i worked for me in PHP under Windows ... but some files did not react. Not being the brightest it took me a while to work out that it was the include files that were the problem. If you are using echo(' ... PHP ...') then the PHP does not get re-formatted. To get over this, create a temporary PHP file, say t.php, copy the PHP part into that, reindent it (Ctrl+Shift+i ... did I mention that?) and then copy the newly reformatted PHP back into the original file. Whilst this is a pain, it does give you correctly formatted PHP.

Is there any shortcut key to align code content in Xcode?

Is there any shortcut key to align code in Xcode? Just like Ctrl+K+D in Visual Studio?
⌃ + i (ctrl + i) is the shortcut key equivalent to Editor > Structure > Re-Indent ( in Xcode 6.4)
This will re-indent the line the cursor is on if no text is selected, or it will re-indent your selection.
1.) Select the text you want to align,
then
2.) press ctrl(^) + I.
If you want more than just indentation Xcode does not yet offer built in code formatting but you can use external tools like Uncrustify to apply a consistent code style.
I described how I last set this up here: http://blog.carbonfive.com/2009/08/07/code-formatting-in-xcode/
Turn on automatic code indentation, then Command+X, Command+V. In other words, cut and paste in place. If your syntax is correct Xcode shouldn't have trouble formatting it (unless you're missing newlines).
There's a menu command:
Edit > Format > Re-Indent
I don't think there's a shortcut on it by default, but you can easily create one in the Key Bindings tab in the Xcode Preferences.
Use default, "COMMAND [" and "COMMAND ]"
Simple!
as #McGordon says, Control + i works on indenting.
(As of Xcode 4.1) its there in the menu at
Editor --> Structure --> Re-Indent
Select the text you want to Align And then press Control(ctrl)+I.
The defaults way Xcode is set up is to use Control + i (also known as ⌃ + i)
If you want to change this then:
Open xcode preferences
Go to Keybindings
Search for "Indent"
Edit and change it to whatever you like.
=> Select All Code by (command + A)
=> Press (control + ]) for indent.
