Description Thomas Weissel 2017-10-19 18:52:45 UTC 
i don't know how to put it in easier words..   i write a lot of python code in kate and in the recent version it's making me crazy!

def test:
    if this is that:
        print "same"
    else:           <<<  here lies the problem
        print "different"
    

if i manually decrease indention by using "backspace" kate will jump back to the same indention level as "print"  - i hit backspace again.. start writing "else" and it jumps again .. i hit enter in order to make a line break - decrease the indention level manually and write "else" and it advances again one level..

lets put it short:  if i manually decrease the indention level - kate has to follow my lead NO MATTER WHAT.. it must not indent automatically after i hit "backspace"   (and i'm sure this behaviour is new to kate)

probably i'm just "holding it wrong"   so please tell me what the preferred workflow with indention should be

it actually works if i hit backspace - then enter and then write a line.. but i don't think an extra blankline between the if block and the else block is python pep8 compliant

thx in advance

Hi Thomas,

sorry for the very late reply. With KDE Frameworks 5.58 I cannot reproduce this, or I am doing something wrong.

1. Can you still reproduce?
2. Are you sure the "Python" indentation mode is active in Tools > Indentation?
3. Can you please exactly describe what you type?
