FlashDevelop settings

I've recently upgraded to FlashDevelop 4, which of course has reverted all the settings I had previously to the original.

The problem I'm having is that I can't find where in the new settings window it gives me the option to turn off the auto-space it inserts before brackets, curly brackets etc.

ie it's automatically making these:

if(2 > 1)
public function get thing():Thing{ return _thing; }

into:

if (2 > 1)
public function get thing():Thing { return _thing; }

It's driving me insane and actually causing me to stop using FlashDevelop temporarily. If I could turn off the auto-formatting stuff altogether like I could in previous versions that would be very helpful.

Solution

  • Go to Tools > Program Settings > ASCompletion

    Under the "Helpers" settings you will find "Always Add Space After". By default it will contain if/for/while/do/catch/with. Remove the keywords you don't want to get autoformatted and the rest is pretty self explanatory.
