Question by HomeSpunGames · Apr 02, 2012 at 01:31 PM · javascriptmonodevelopformatauto

MonoDevelop auto formating?

I am using MonoDevelop to write and edit JavaScript code for a game I am working on. I hear that MonoDevelop can auto format your code, but I have tried everything and cant figure out how! The only answer I could find is to use the Format > Format Document, which does not do anything.

Thanks in advance!

MonoDevelop includes some pretty elaborate formatting rules for C#. I'm not aware of any built-in mechanism for JavaScript. You can check this for yourself, by going into your solution settings:

 Project > Solution Options > Source Code > Code Formatting

I have tried setting those rules but they don't appear to work (for c#).

They do work for me (in c#). You can also set a key binding in tools > options > key-bindings. Bear in mind that if you have syntax errors in your code, like missing a parenthese, monodevelop will not be able to auto-format.
