Tabs and Indents
| Item | Description |
|---|
| Use tab character |
-
If this checkbox is selected, tab characters are used:
- On pressing the Tab key
- For indentation
- For code reformatting
-
When the checkbox is cleared, IntelliJ IDEA uses spaces instead of tabs.
|
| Smart tabs |
- If this checkbox is selected, the part of indentation defined by the nesting of code blocks,
is made of the tabs and (if necessary) spaces, while the part of indentation defined by
the alignment is made only of spaces.
- If this checkbox is cleared, only tabs are used. This means that a group of spaces that
fits the specified tab size is automatically replaced with a tab, which may result in
breaking fine alignment.
The Smart Tabs checkbox is available if the
Use Tab Character checkbox is selected.
|
| Tab size | In this text box, specify the number of spaces included 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. |
Wrapping
Use this tab to configure wrapping options.
| Item | Description |
|---|
| Right Margin | Use these settings to specify a margin space required on the right side of an
element. If you select Default option then a value of the right margin from the
global settings will be used. |
| Wrap on typing | Use these settings settings to specify how the edited text is fitted in the
specified
Right margin.
You can select one the following options:
- Default - in this case IntelliJ IDEA uses the Wrap on typing option that is specified
in the global settings.
- Yes - in this case the value in the specified right margin is used.
- No - in this case this option is switched off and a line can exceed
the number that is specified in the right margin.
