I am using MonoDevelop on Mac to write MonoTouch apps. Automatica code indenting/formatting works great while I am typing.
The problem is that when I copy and paste code snippets, in many cases I lose the formatting and lines are combined together, indenting is lost, and it is a huge pain to implement the tabs, spacing, and line breaks manually. Is there anyway I can use a command in monoDevelop to automatically indent and apply the formatting to existing code.
I thought maybe Edit|Format|Format Document/Selection would work, but these commands don't have any affect on the code at all.
Any help?

Code formatter (notepad++ 64) on 32 bit notepad++ one of the best plugins to reformat c++ code would be textfx, which is available at the built in plugins admin (notepad++ 7.6. x). the menu would be textfx > textfx edit > reindent c++ code as seen at the screencast below.
The primary step is to install the XML tools using the Plugin Manager. Then navigate to Menu -> Plugins -> XML Tools -> Pretty Print. You can use the shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Shift + B. For the other older versions, you need to navigate to Menu -> text FX -> HTML Tidy -> Tidy: Reindent XML.
To format the entire document in one keystroke: control-I
To format a selection: Edit->Format->Format Selection
To customize the formatting: MonoDevelop->Preferences->Source Code->Code Formatting

You actually need to select all your text, and then go to Edit->Format->Format Document. It doesn't seem to work otherwise.
