freja-indent-line

Line indentation support for freja.

Prerequisites

The freja editor.

Setup

0. Clone this repository somewhere and cd to the resulting directory
1. Start freja with: freja freja-indent-line/defaults.janet
2. Control+L to load the file

Example Usage

1. Put the cursor on a blank line and write a line of code (but don't press Enter). The result should look like:

   (defn my-fn
   

2. Press Shift+Enter and type [x]. The result should look like:

   (defn my-fn
     [x]
   

3. Again, press Shift+Enter and type (+ x 1)). The result should look like:

   (defn my-fn
     [x]
     (+ x 1))
   

Note that it should not have been necessary to manually insert spaces at the beginning of each line, i.e. indentation should have happened automatically.

Explanation

In this version, Shift+Enter invokes the function newline-and-indent! which successively:

• Deletes any whitespace immediately before the cursor location
• Creates a new line and moves the cursor to it
• Indents the new line according to context, leaving the cursor at the "indented" location

It's also possible to indent the current line by typing Tab.
