Copy paste indent

[Ianuarius]

Type: Feature Request

Copy pasting code breaks the indentation. Every time I have to copy and paste a block, I'm spending precious flow-breaking moments reformatting the pasted code, because VSCode cannot retain the correct indentation. Take a look at how Sublime does it. I can focus on work, not hitting tab and backspace a bunch of times just because the editor cannot do it.

VS Code version: Code 1.91.1 (f1e16e1e6214d7c44d078b1f0607b2388f29d729, 2024-07-09T22:06:49.809Z) OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19045 Modes:

[Ianuarius]

Thanks for the reply, RedCMD. Language HTML/PHP. I tried all the editor.autoIndent settings. Nothing was better.

can you share a code snippet of a before and after please and you settings file

Here are a couple of examples: And I copy lines by dragging up with mouse, which means, it is taking newline from the previous line. 1. Code initially...

            <button type="button" onclick="document.getElementById('levelup-ikkuna').style.display='none';">Peruuta</button>
            <input type="submit" value="Hyväksy" disabled>
        </div>

Copy this... <input type="submit" id="hyvaksy_nappi" value="Hyväksy" disabled>

Replace the input line, resulting...

            <button type="button" onclick="document.getElementById('levelup-ikkuna').style.display='none';">Peruuta</button>
            <input type="submit" id="hyvaksy_nappi" value="Hyväksy" disabled>
            </div>

So the closing div is now wrong.

2. Code initially...

            </form>
        </div>
<?php
get_footer();
?>

Copy this...

    </main><!-- #main -->
</div><!-- #ensisijainen -->

Paste it in the middle, resulting...

            </form>
        </div>
        </main><!-- #main -->
</div><!-- #ensisijainen -->
<?php
get_footer();
?>

So, this time the closing main is in the wrong location. Or if you're expecting one indentation based on previous lines, then the closing div is in the wrong location.
