Indent

[jevanlingen]

In CoffeeScript, every indent is 2 spaces. Could you make the indentation differ from the rest of eclipse, as I use to write Java with a tab as indent.

I'm going to make it configurable in preferences

Nice!

+1 from me. By the way: I haven't found a way to make the editor stop inserting tabs in stead of spaces. The global configuration says so, but autoindents are still with tabs.

Fixing this would be really great!

Note: the autoindent is inconsistent: it uses a tab when indenting just in the beginning of a function body and spaces everywhere else.

Yeah this is really frustrating, still seeing this behavior...

I can volunteer to try fixing this problem if only someone can point me in the direction of where to fix it. All the Java stuff somewhat put me off...

I'm working on it too; except the make.py is not making as it says on the label. I opened a separate issue about that.

Hey, for what it's worth, I decided to try writing my own editor for Coffescript in Eclipse. It's a bit dumber then Adam's, but it (seems to) handle the tab indentation and what not better, at the cost of less diagnostics/etc.

I tried looking at Adam's but I couldn't decipher the tab behavior, so I just went with a trivial grammar for now.

Hey, thanks - I'll look into that. Also, never knew about (Iced)Coffee-Script - very neat! I started rewriting coffeescript due to some really obnoxious and unclear parser behaviors, and was looking to add async support as well (why not at that point). I might just have to borrow that approach.. it's really clean!

Great work. I've really missed this fix.
