      Hello,

      Out of curiosity, why isn’t Python code automatically indented in NPP?
      For example, hitting enter after the following line should indent the next line:

      if a < b:
      no indentation here
      

      I’ve noticed a plugin doing just that, apparently available since 2012. Why isn’t this feature implemented natively?

      Thanks.

        because notepad++ isn’t a python only editor.
        And the reason for the plugin architecture is exactly for such cases.

        Cheers
        Claudia

          Sorry, I don’t know much about language definitions for NPP, but aren’t indentation rules supposed to be part of them?
