In a previous conversation, Ive made a wrong comment because I use rarely Xojo 2016r1.1 and because the original question (in part) already exists in prior versions.
I want to apologize to the original poster about that (I searched this discussion, but I failed to find it).
What existed and what is new (to me) ?
What existed
In a block of comments (for example), having an ending space (or many) is (are) removed.
what is new
In a same block of comments, pasting text with leading space strip the leading space.
Comment block example
// ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
//
// This is a typical block of comment as I do to describe an Event, a Method, etc.
//
//
// ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
So, to create the first line of comments, I press 2 times in the / key, one time in the key (space), 10 times in the - key, copy the leadins space and the 10 - and paste the whole 8 times.
Ive done that yesterday using Xojo 2016r1.1 and I had to re do it two or three times until I realized that the missing space in the Paste was stripped by Xojo.
That was new to me.
This is what I had in 2015r1 (and prior Xojo)
You may not saw the ending space in all lines that have //. This is a provision for more comments. I also can do:
// Nota: <place-some-text-here>
// Space aligned text line 1
// Space aligned text line 2
// Space aligned text line 3
I use the above for variable names, Fields in a Table, etc.
Copy / Paste // remove the trailing Spaces. Id better Copy / Paste // . (when I recall
) to keep my spaces where I really want them.
I will not explain here how insecure I am when I am using Xojos Code Editor (the cursor is never where I think it have to do [OS X] for example). This have a great impact on my already very low productivity.
