E9.2 Indenting JRuby or Groovy script

[jolly]

I had no idea, but accidentally discovered that if you select your whole script (ctrl-A) then shift-Tab it will re-indent the code nicely.

ooooh just tried it and it worked for me. I like it, thanks!

How did we not know this?

Especially as the script editor tries to do indenting for you as you go but does a really hopeless job of it.

[Edit] Tab just wipes any selection and replaces it with a Tab.
The WORST thing about the script editor us that Undo and Ctrl-Z do nothing. Accidentally delete pages of unsaved work and it's goneburger.

yeah.... the autotype and autoindent messes me up and takes way more time to clean up than it would have saved if i'd used everything exactly how the ONE PROGRAMMER WHO TOSSED THE FUNCTIONALITY IN might use it. auto format when we ask it to? yes! auto-complete/auto-indent? NO. i smell another enh request.

That's a nice find! Thank you!

Don't you just love trying to satisfy mission critical business needs without a product that is primitive, buggy and undocumented?

ummmm, welcome to JDE?

I'm quite a fan of almost everything Orchestrator despite its quirks, so I suppose I'm a bit biased

Hi Dave. As a long term JDE user, you can put me firmly in the fan category too (that goes for all things JDE), but the way this product has been delivered is shameful and an embarrassment. Remember, we paying premium prices for low bar delivery.

Awesome, thanks for this! Was always dumping it out to reformat and pasting back.
