How to auto-indent code in the Atom editor?

How do you auto-indent your code in the Atom editor? In other editors you can usually select some code and auto-indent it.

Is there a keyboard shortcut as well?

Solution

  • I found the option in the menu, under Edit > Lines > Auto Indent. It doesn't seem to have a default keymap bound.

    You could try to add a key mapping (Atom > Open Your Keymap [on Windows: File > Settings > Keybindings > "your keymap file"]) like this one:

    'atom-text-editor':
  'cmd-alt-l': 'editor:auto-indent'

    It worked for me :)

    For Windows:

    'atom-text-editor':
  'ctrl-alt-l': 'editor:auto-indent'
