Tabs and Indents
| Use tab character |
-
If this check box is selected, tab characters are used for indentation and for code reformatting.
-
When the check box is cleared, IntelliJ IDEA 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 check box 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 check box 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
check box 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 check box 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 check box is selected, IntelliJ IDEA retains indents on empty lines as if they
contained some code. If the check box is cleared, IntelliJ IDEA 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.
| Item | Description |

| Align values | Use this drop-down list to specify how IntelliJ IDEA should align attributes and values.

| Blank lines between blocks | In this text box, specify the minimum number of sequential blank lines to be retained after reformatting. |
| Align closing brace with properties | If this check box is selected, the closing brace of the selector will be placed under the list of properties.
If this check box is not selected, the closing brace of the selector will be placed under the selector.
|
| Keep single-line blocks | If this check box is selected, the blocks with a single property will be confined to one line.
If this check box is not selected, each property will be placed to its own line.
|
| Spaces | Select the check boxes in this area to add a space after the colon delimiting key and value, and before the opening brace of the selector. |
