VisualMust is able to indent and make easy typing of code. Of course, these options may be disabled if you do not wish to use them.

The following parameters may be changed, at your convenience.

AutoEndBraces

If this option has been enabled, each time you type an opening brace, the editor will use the actual location of it (at the beginning or the end of a line) to determine what will be the most appropriate location to the closing one that it will put for you. Note that the programming style determination is dynamic and has nothing to do with the Opening Braces Begin NewLine option used by the code generator.
According to the suboptions bound to the AutoEndBraces option, the editor will also generate the appropriate code, such as TryCatch, DoWhile, SwitchCaseDefault, etc...

AutoEndParenthesis

If this option has been enabled, each time you type  an opening parenthesis, the editor will generate the closing one automatically. This can be quite handy to keep them in pairs...

AutoEndBrackets

If this option has been enabled, each time you type a start bracket, the closing one will be put just after the insertion point for you.

AutoComment

When this option is enabled, the editor prefix any line you create in a comment block with an asterisk. This may help you to obtain some nice looking comment blocks.

TabSize 

This value will set the number of characters to expand tabs to.

Indentation Step 

This value will set the number of characters to expand indentation to.

Indentation Braces 

This value will set an additional indentation after the line following the start brace. This option should be used only if you are using an Opening Braces Begin NewLine indentation style.
