gkz / LiveScript

LiveScript is a language which compiles to JavaScript. It has a straightforward mapping to JavaScript and allows you to write expressive code devoid of repetitive boilerplate. While LiveScript adds many features to assist in functional style programming, it also has many improvements for object oriented and imperative programming.

Option for make tab to indent in Livescript.net #896

Open ceremcem opened 8 years ago

ceremcem commented 8 years ago

I use Livescript.net heavily when I want to show something to a friend. Since I can not use TAB to indent a block, indenting with space bar becomes frustrating. Can we place a checkbox in order to switch to a mode that will indent selected block when we press TAB button?

IIRC someone mentioned about having ACE in livescript.net before, but the idea was rejected then because a maintainer (forgot who) wanted to keep mobile download size lean.

That said, I am thinking about having an optional ACE editor that loads on demand.

Yes, I recall a conversation something like that. But in this case I only propose to have only TAB to indent... That won't add extra load except for a few bytes.

ACE editor that loads on demand would be another great option.

I think there was a pull request which was rejected by gkz because it had a copy of the whole ACE repo in it. Doing it a leaner integration with the compiled ace.js might get accepted.
