Editor Behavior
This page of ReSharper options allows you to adjust ReSharper's behavior in the editor.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Typing assist | |
| Use CamelHumps | Enables CamelHumps for the following actions:
|
| Auto-format on semicolon | If this check box is selected, ReSharper applies code formatting rules to the statement when you type a semicolon. |
| Auto-format on closing brace | If this check box is selected, ReSharper applies code formatting rules to the block of code when you type its closing brace. |
| Auto-format on paste | This selector lets you configure whether to apply code formatting rules for pasted code. By default, ReSharper only applies indentation settings when you paste code, which is a convenient option if you do not want to follow formatting rules very strictly. Note that by default, Visual Studio applies its own formatting rules for edited and pasted code. If you are using ReSharper auto-formatting features, we recommend that you disable Visual Studio auto-formatting. You can do it in Visual Studio options (). For C# for example, clear the corresponding check-boxes on the options page. |
| Correct common language-specific typos | If this check box is selected, ReSharper automatically fixes mistyped characters - @$ in verbatim string interpolation or dot or semicolon inside parentheses. You may want to clear this check box if you prefer to specify double values without the leading zero, e.g. DoSomething(.33);. |
| Smart indent on Enter | If this check box is selected, each time you press Enter in the editor, ReSharper will calculate the indent for the next line taking into account all settings that affect indentation, e.g. whether and how to use tabs (configurable on ), whether to align chain method calls (configurable on ), etc. If this check box is cleared, the next line will be aligned according to Visual Studio settings. |
| Insert virtual indent on enter | If this option is enabled, ReSharper does not insert indent characters (which could be whitespaces, tabs, or a mix of both, depending on the settings) when you press Enter. However it sets the caret according to the indent calculated for this line. If you type anything in this line, Visual Studio will add the indent characters; if you press Enter once again, no trailing spaces will be left. You may want to disable this option if you prefer to indent with tabs, align with spaces. |
| Insert * on Enter after /* | If this option is enabled, ReSharper will insert the asterisk * in the beginning of each line of a block comment as you press Enter. Even if this option is enabled, you can press Shift+Enter to add a new line without the leading asterisk. |
| Use ReSharper formatter settings on Tab | When this option is enabled, ReSharper will use auto-detected indent settings and ReSharper layer-based settings to decide whether to use tabs or spaces in the indent when you press Tab. We recommend that you leave this option enabled. |
| Braces and Parentheses | |
| Surround selection on typing a brace or parenthesis | If this check box is selected, you can select a code block or an expression, then type an opening { or a closing } brace to put the selection inside braces, or type an opening ( or a closing ) parenthesis to put the selection inside parentheses. |
| Auto-insert pair brackets, parenthesis and quotes | If this check box is selected, a closing bracket, parenthesis or quote is automatically created whenever you type the corresponding opening element [, (, " or '. If you change your mind and press Backspace to delete the opening delimiter, its closing pair is also deleted. |
| Auto-insert closing brace | If this check box is selected, a closing brace is inserted automatically:
|
| Structural navigation | |
| Use Tab/Shift+Tab keys for structural navigation | This check box enables Structural Navigation and overrides the behavior of Tab and Shift+Tab. There are also three sub-options that allow you to specify when the standard behavior of these keys should be preserved. |
| C# | |
| Annotate nullability on '!'/'?' after type name | When this option is enabled, ReSharper will automatically add the [NotNull]/ [CanBeNull] annotations when you type '!'/'?' after a type name in a method signature or member declaration. E.g: if you type public void Foo(string?, ReSharper will automatically convert it to public void Foo([CanBeNull] string. |
| Annotate nullability on '!'/'?' after entity name | When this option is enabled, ReSharper will automatically add the [NotNull]/ [CanBeNull] annotations when you type '!'/'?' after a name of the declared symbol or parameter in a method signature or member declaration. E.g: if you type public void Foo(string myStr?, ReSharper will automatically convert it to public void Foo([CanBeNull] string myStr. |
| Insert parameter null check on '!' after type or type name... | If a parameter is marked with the [NotNull] attribute, you can set the caret directly after the parameter name or parameter type and press !: private void Foo([NotNull] object/*!*/ arg/*!*/) |
| VB.NET | |
| Insert end constructs | If this check box is selected, ReSharper will automatically add a matching end construct when you type the opening part. For example, when you type Sub, End Sub will be added automatically. |
| HTML | |
| Auto-format on enter | If this check box is selected, ReSharper applies code formatting rules to the recently typed code after you press Enter. |
| Auto-format on closing tag | If this check box is selected, ReSharper automatically formats recently added code after you type the closing tag of an element. |
| Synchronous changing of matching tag | If this check box is selected, ReSharper simultaneously changes the closing tag when you are editing the opening tag of an element and vice versa. |
| ASP.NET | |
| Auto-format on enter | If this check box is selected, ReSharper applies code formatting rules to the recently typed code after you press Enter. |
| Auto-format on closing tag | If this check box is selected, ReSharper automatically formats recently added code after you type the closing tag of an element. |
| Synchronous changing of matching tag | If this check box is selected, ReSharper simultaneously changes the closing tag when you are editing the opening tag of an element and vice versa. |
| Razor | |
| Auto-format on enter | If this check box is selected, ReSharper applies code formatting rules to the recently typed code after you press Enter. |
| Auto-format on closing tag | If this check box is selected, ReSharper automatically formats recently added code after you type the closing tag of an element. |
| Synchronous changing of matching tag | If this check box is selected, ReSharper simultaneously changes the closing tag when you are editing the opening tag of an element and vice versa. |
