Automated formatting

The Automated formatting functionality helps you to make your code more readable by fixing all space issues, aligning the code and comments properly just in a few clicks.

Code formatting includes indenting (with tabs or a customizable number of spaces), spaces correction around arithmetical and boolean operators, braces (including square and curly).

In The Welkin Suite, an opened document can be formatted in two ways:

• the Main Menu: Edit ⇒ Format Code

• with the hotkey Ctrl+Q.

By default, The Welkin Suite uses tabs for indenting. You can change this behavior in the Options Menu: Main Menu ⇒ Tools ⇒ Options ⇒ Text Editor ⇒ Apex ⇒ Tabs and check the Insert spaces radio button. You can also specify the number of spaces used for indenting in Tab Size input.

NB: As for now, the Automated formatting feature is available only for the Apex language.
