Editor formatting options

[swcooke]

I am just curious if the NT development team has considered adding a way to format code in the NinjaScript Editor. If there is already a discussion on this topic in another post or elsewhere, please let me know. Thanks.

Hello swcooke,
Thanks for your post.

I am not seeing any requests for NinjaScript formatting options. What specific formatting options would you like to see?

Many IDE's offer a command that can tidy up your code. Visual Studio is one of them but frankly, I like how light weight the NinjaScript Editor is. The only thing missing is the convenience of quickly organizing messy code. I'm surprised to see you haven't gotten this request before. Are you sure? Seems like it would be a popular request.
