Re: Shortcuts Indent/Unindent

[David Shaw <daveshawmrc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Check the settings on the Formatter page under the ILE RPG preferences. I
think it uses those rather than the Automatic indent preference. Why they
have essentially the same setting in 2 different places is beyond me.

It does appear that they could make the different selection types more
consistent with each other. I suspect it's one of those things that hasn't
been touched since the first implementation.
