Commented Lines are not in order

Post by edc » 22 Oct 2023, 15:23

Hello,
For some reason Microsoft Visual Studio is not keeping my comments for each line of code in order. When I open the file in Notepad all lines are correct. I have 100's of lines of code and need to have them in order.

Thanks,
EDC

Code: Select all

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

That is because both editors have different "tab sizes" and you have mixed tab + spaces to align the comments. Check the tab size setting in notepad++ (settings, preferences, there should be tab size somewhere) - make it the same in vscode (probably 8 in notepad++ and 4 in vscode)

Or resort to spaces only for aligning the comments.

That worked correctly! In Microsoft Visual Studio I was able to adjust the Tab Size from 4 to 8 and everything lined up.

File > Preferences > Settings > Typed In: Tab
Changed Tab Size from 4 to 8.
