Sublime Text has 3 ways to handle brackets indentation when I hit a new line button.
1.curly bracket
xxx = {
|cursor|
}
2.parenthesis
xxx = (
|cursor|)
3.square bracket
xxx = [
|cursor|]
How could I set all of them to behave like curly bracket
That's quite simple in Sublime. Just Ctrl+Shift+P (or Command+Shift+P on MacOS) to open the tools pallet, type reindent , and pick Indentation: Reindent Lines . It should reindent all the file you are in, just remember to save before running the command, or it may not appear.
Java has a "feature" which allows you to omit curly brackets when writing if statements, for loops, or while loops containing only a single statement. You should never use this feature – always include curly brackets. The reason for this is because omitting curly brackets increases your chances of writing buggy code.
Netbeans like Shortcut KeySelect all code that you intend to indent, then hit Ctrl + ] in Sublime text to indent. For macOS users, use command + ] to indent, and command + [ to un-indent.
In the Default keybindings, there is this:
{ "keys": ["enter"], "command": "run_macro_file", "args": {"file": "res://Packages/Default/Add Line in Braces.sublime-macro"}, "context":
[
{ "key": "setting.auto_indent", "operator": "equal", "operand": true },
{ "key": "selection_empty", "operator": "equal", "operand": true, "match_all": true },
{ "key": "preceding_text", "operator": "regex_contains", "operand": "\\{$", "match_all": true },
{ "key": "following_text", "operator": "regex_contains", "operand": "^\\}", "match_all": true }
]
},
which provides the functionality for pressing Enter between the {
and }
braces. The macro adds 2 newlines, moves the cursor to after the first one and reindents the line.
You can therefore achieve the same functionality between (
and )
and [
and ]
by adding this to your user keybindings:
{ "keys": ["enter"], "command": "run_macro_file", "args": {"file": "res://Packages/Default/Add Line in Braces.sublime-macro"}, "context":
[
{ "key": "setting.auto_indent", "operator": "equal", "operand": true },
{ "key": "selection_empty", "operator": "equal", "operand": true, "match_all": true },
{ "key": "preceding_text", "operator": "regex_contains", "operand": "\\($", "match_all": true },
{ "key": "following_text", "operator": "regex_contains", "operand": "^\\)", "match_all": true }
]
},
{ "keys": ["enter"], "command": "run_macro_file", "args": {"file": "res://Packages/Default/Add Line in Braces.sublime-macro"}, "context":
[
{ "key": "setting.auto_indent", "operator": "equal", "operand": true },
{ "key": "selection_empty", "operator": "equal", "operand": true, "match_all": true },
{ "key": "preceding_text", "operator": "regex_contains", "operand": "\\[$", "match_all": true },
{ "key": "following_text", "operator": "regex_contains", "operand": "^\\]", "match_all": true }
]
},
