Tabs and Indents
Use tab character |
|
Smart tabs | An indentation consists of two parts. One part results from nesting code blocks and the other part is determined by 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, JetBrains Rider retains indents on empty lines as if they contained some code. If the checkbox is cleared, JetBrains Rider deletes the tab characters and spaces on empty lines. |
