I'm posting this here instead of their issue tracker because I keep getting errors on the page. Hopefully someone sees it.

The auto-formatting of Scala code is absolutely horrendous. Hitting backspace will delete all whitespace up to the previous line. If I'm typing case statement oneliners, I'm going to want the next line to line up with the previous. Having the two extra spaces appear is ok, but hitting backspace shouldn't bring me up to the previous line instead of just... going back a space.

Maybe this is the plugin, and not the IDE. Anyway. Rant over.



If I understand you correctly you will want to disable Preferences > Editor > Smart Keys > Backspace smart indent


Well now I just feel stupid for not being able to figure that out.


Sure, because nothing screams "obvious" like a setting that's buried four layers deep.

I agree, though, that the menu structure made it about as obvious as was possible.


Just keep typing. It will fix it after you type the word "case".
