I can do that in vi (and that is what I did last time I played with my RCX
about a year ago), but RcxCC adds the cool monitoring features which make it
useful for debugging. For the short NQC programs that I write the editor
would be fine without the frustrating tab weirdness.
The tabs on RcxCC aren't at all similar to auto-indent on vi. On vi that
just means that when I press enter it spaces (or tabs) in enough characters
to line up with the start of the previous
line. On RcxCC the tab key doesn't make any sense with auto-intent turned
on or off. For instance grab http://www.phred.org/~alex/lego/wander.nqc.
Go to line 27 (this says Wait(100)). Now remove the leading spaces. Press
tab once and it goes three spaces. Press it again and it goes 1 space.
What the hell is it doing?
I really just want a logical tab key, where I say "Tabs are 4 spaces wide"
and then when I press Tab once it goes to the next Tabstop, which are spaced
at 4 space intervals.
