code-formatting

When I reformat code with Eclipse, it turns method headers like this: public void myMethod(String param) { into method headers like this: public void myMethod( String param) { When I was brought on here I'd never used Eclipse before, and I imported project settings provided by someone else. I have seen that on small new projects I've worked on Eclipse does not do this, so it must be in the settings I've imported. But I've gone through every panel I can find, as well as every hidden file I can find in the workspace, and I can't figure out what is causing this. How do I turn it off? I don't want

In Python, I want to write a multi-line dict in my code. There are a couple of ways one could format it. Here are a few that I could think of: mydict = { "key1": 1, "key2": 2, "key3": 3, } mydict = { "key1": 1, "key2": 2, "key3": 3, } mydict = { "key1": 1, "key2": 2, "key3": 3, } I know that any of the above is syntactically correct, but I assume that there is one preferred indentation and line-break style for Python dicts. What is it? Note: This is not an issue of syntax. All of the above are (as far as I know) valid Python statements and are equivalent to each other. I use #3. Same for long

When I copy code from another file, the formatting is messed up, like this: fun() { for(...) { for(...) { if(...) { } } } } How can I autoformat this code in vim? Try the following keystrokes: gg=G Explanation: gg goes to the top of the file, = is a command to fix the indentation and G tells it to perform the operation to the end of the file.
