Tabs and Indents

Use tab character

  • If this checkbox is selected, tab characters are used for indentation and for code reformatting.

  • When the checkbox is cleared, GoLand uses spaces instead of tabs.

Smart tabs

An indentation consists of two parts. One part results from nesting code blocks and the other part is determined by alignment.
  • If this checkbox is selected, the part that results from nesting contains both tabs and spaces (if necessary), while the part defined by alignment consists only of spaces.

  • If this checkbox is cleared, only tabs are used. This means that after reformatting a group of spaces that fits the specified tab size is automatically replaced with a tab, which may result in breaking fine alignment.

Tab size

In this text box, specify the number of spaces that fits in a tab.

Indent

In this text box, specify the number of spaces (or tabs if the Use Tab Character checkbox is selected) to be inserted for each indent level.

Continuation indent

In this text box, specify the number of spaces (or tabs if the Use Tab Character checkbox is selected) to be inserted between the elements of an array, in expressions, method declarations, and method calls.

Keep indents on empty lines

If this checkbox is selected, GoLand retains indents on empty lines as if they contained some code. If the checkbox is cleared, GoLand deletes the tab characters and spaces on empty lines.

Other

In this tab, specify the alignment, braces and spaces options to be applied on reformatting.

Blank lines between blocks

In this text box, specify the minimum number of sequential blank lines to be retained after reformatting.

If this checkbox is not selected, the closing brace of the selector will be placed under the selector.

Keep single-line blocks

If this checkbox is selected, the blocks with a single property will be confined to one line.
If this checkbox is not selected, each property will be placed to its own line.

Spaces

Select the checkboxes in this area to add a space after the colon delimiting key and value, and before the opening brace of the selector.
