Automatic indentation for Python in Notepad++

Question

I\'ve been googling lots and this is getting really frustrating. It doesn\'t act like idle.

Example:

else:  
    name = \'World\'
    print \'Howdy\

Answer 3

1. Click on Settings
2. Click Preferences...
3. Browse drop-down menu to find MISC.
4. Tick the box which says Auto-indent

After that, you should be fine.

This is what you want:

Settings > Preferences > MISC. > Auto-Indent (checkbox)

Sometimes people ask, "How can I do x in program y?"

I have a dream that one day "Use program z instead" will not be the most popular response.

Answer 5

Go to Settings > Preferences > Language

Then on the "Tab Settings" box select "python" and tick the "Use default value" checkbox.

You're welcome.

P.S. Yeah, I know this a little old. I really just couldn't help it. Anyway, this is for version v7.3.2.

Answer 6

Restart Notepad++ after, and then it works.
