Hi everyone,
I recognized that building the entire ast visitor dedicated for D code formatting takes a bit more.
Despite this I found a (temporary) shortcut that represents a fairly good compromise regarding ‘early release date’ vs. ‘good formatting results’:
To let the indent engine indent each line individually without re-arranging brackets or other tokens.
You’ll be able now to call the formatter via Edit -> Format -> Format Document (also Format Selection if you’ve selected a couple of lines only).
You can of course switch to the actual (intrusive) formatting engine by un-checking the lower-most check box in the D Options – but be aware that it still tends to throw undefined exceptions whose error messages won’t really make sense – so please don’t flood the issue tracker with not very helpful stack trace dumps

great! Thanks for tackling this at last!
Not sure why ppl replied they don’t use that feature.
here’s one bug:
the 1st line doesn’t seem to get formatted. eg:
—-
import std.stdio;
—-
pressing control + I should yield:
—-
import std.stdio;
—-
but it doesn’t.
the comment autoformatter removed the space before the first import.stdio above. But you get the idea.
The first line..yeah.. why isn’t it doing that
another bug:
/+
a
+/
yields:
/+
a
+/
(in case comment formatter screws up: it adds a space on 2nd and 3rd line)
That’s definitely not a bug – it’s intended to have multi-line comments start at the same columns. I guess I have to make it opt-in/out or so then..
okay, optin/out avoids flaming wars about what’s the right thing to do…
unrelated:
it doesn’t seem to do completion anymore?
eg i set the paths to phobos and druntime, but if i start writing import std.stdio, it doesn’t auto-complete. Not sure when was the last release that worked.
Completion just works for me(tm) – I could cry sometimes because I don’t know why people are complaining about non-working features D:
