    You can either stop it auto-formatting, or you can hit Ctrl-Z after it auto-formats.

    99% of the time I want the autoformatting on. I was hoping I could do something like:

    #I Know What I`m Doing //disable autoformat

    Code with manually aligned whitespace

    #Mommy Knows Best //enable autoformat

    Code without any special whitespace

    :rolleyes:

        Wouldn't "Mommy Knows Best" enable autoformat?

          Yes, that is Qt. Although that example is not one of the interesting ones that uses signals and slots.. I would have included one as an example but the first two I looked at were not following my general style.

            Yeah, there should be a SPACE before the semi-colon.

              are you sure? isn't it a newline and a whole bunch of spaces? :)

                No, one SPACE will do; there are too many on the line already.

                  The alignment or the massive whitespace? I am very, very strict about aligning code because it allows you to scan types, modifiers and names and reduces the chance of a scanning drive-by error. A little bit of effort that has saved me enough times to make it gospel.

                  Same here. Ditto (in C++ anyway) using const appropriately. Of course, when a guy formats his code well it's called Metrosexual Programming[^], right? :rolleyes:
