I've searched a lot for this and can't find how to Indent code in dreamweaver...
COMMAND-OPT+] - I've found this on google but it didn't work with me, I'm using a mac book air and to achieve ] I have to do alt+9 ( ] -> alt+9
I just want to indent automatically a bunch of code.. I know dreamweaver has automatic indenting but that just works when I'm writing code, but when I copy piece of code that are not indented like I do, ( I use tabs ), it doesn't indent them. I have to do it manually
Thanks
I typically use the formatting tool at http://www.freeformatter.com/html-formatter.html#ad-output. If you're using a copied block of code, you could format it with this tool and paste it accordingly into your existing code. An extra step, but well worth it in my experience.

I'm a vim/ultisnips newbie trying to be more efficient when writing and coding. I've successfully installed the ultisnips plugin and it works so far.
My question is: is it possible to "reactivate" a snippet after it has been filled? The documentation says:
UltiSnips will only map the jump triggers while a snippet is active to
interfere as little as possible with other mappings.
But actually I would like to reactivate a snippet from time to time in order to efficiently jump between the placeholders while updating/modifying the snippet content.
Any idea how this can be done?
I'm using sublime text 3. And I want to display a text with color like a code file in Sublime. But I don't know how to do. Please help me!.
Thanks you!
You can manually set the syntax of any file using the Command Palette and type "Set Syntax: " or from the bottom right dialog (by default it reads "Plain Text").
If you want Sublime Text to remember your choice, you can also do that from the syntax selection dialog mentioned above, or View > Syntax > Open all with current extension as…".
I think if you need your text file for purposes like note taking, there is a nice hack.
Go to View > Syntax and then select haskell. Haskell syntax highlighting is subtle and works fine. To highlight something just capitalise the first letter and it pops in a different colour. Numbers are highlighted in a different colour again, increasing readability. Finally brackets commas etc have different colour which further helps.
Well, coloring is based on the syntax, like every programming language has its syntax, but the pure text file is hard to detect the syntax since it can be anything. So if you use the Sublime to coding,try save it as a file with file extension first, then the Sublime will detect by itself, however you could also do this manually.
The ability to create your own syntax highlighting rules is one of the excellent features of SublimeText.
Have a look here at some other people wanting to build their own syntax highlighting rules:
How to not highlight object keys such as 'do'/'package' as keywords in Sublime?
Sublime Text - C++ Highlight
That explains the basic tools you need to use to do what you want to do.
Following the same ideas there you can build a syntax highlighting scheme for whatever it is you want to achieve in your text file based on whatever syntax rules you are trying to follow. Hard to imagine what those are for a text file without you supplying exact details but if you want to do it Sublime Text gives you the power to do it.
If you give that a try and have trouble with developing the relevant Regular Expression/s to do what you want to do then post what you have done and how it is not working the way you hoped and perhaps we can help you get to the end of the game.
To prepare an exam, I have to learn coding using google docs rather than using an IDE. It may seem idiot or impratical but the teacher really insists on that. It seems that is the same thing as Google interviews for example...
So far, I really got used with using two spaces indentation (I hate using tab indendation). And I want to learn how can I do that quickly in Google docs. Is there a shortcut or a "tips" (add-on?) for that?
For example, if you have an "if-condition" starting at the position number 4 and you want to move to the following line, it can be really convenient to have the cursor position at 4. Then, you'll add two spaces to start your block at position number 6. (ALL the if block will have at least position 6). But in Docs, when you move to the following line, the cursor always start at the beginning of the line except if you use the tab indentation. And it's really shitting if you want to indent your code properly...
Do you have a solution for that please ?
I was facing the same problem.
To write Python code in google docs, my solution is:
Switch off auto-capitalization, auto-correction and smart quotes. And other auto-substitutions so that you may write code without docs like formatting.
To do this: Tools> Preferences and uncheck the above items. Screen shots attached below.
Set tab to two spaces.
Right-click on ruler on top of page. Add left-tab stop, an arrow will appear, move this tab stop to 2 spaces from left of ruler. Try adding tab in the current line and if the tab size is OK, save this formatting.
To save:
Format > Paragraph Styles > Normal Text > Update 'Normal Text' to match.
Last, to add color(synatx highlight), you may use 'code blocks extension'.
Click install.
Now, write code in docs, select the code in google doc, click on:
Add-ons > Code Block. A pop up opens up.
Choose language : 'python' for me.
Choose theme: 'atom-one-dark'
click Format.
The code looks much like IDE, and writing more code is easier too.
While I understand that sometimes a point can be made by making students do things in a way that might not seem logical, this one doesn't make any sense to me.
Students don't learn anything useful by pressing space twice instead of letting an editor or IDE do it for them.
I wonder, is it because he/she wants it delivered in Google Docs or because they want you coding that way? If it's the latter, you won't have to hide your workaround.
I can only suggest using a good text editor, I always use the excellent and free Notepad++, and copy and paste it to and from Google Docs. Your instructor will never know. In fact, I'd be hunting around to see of there was a way to access your code files directly in Google Docs from Notepad++, or to auto-sync a folder with Google docs.
Notepad++ has syntax colouring - which will save your life - and can be set to indent with tabs or spaces to whatever indent width you specify. If not using an IDE, I only use Notepad++.
Your instructor sounds like some I had, people who cross a line from being quirky but with a point to make to just being a dick. There is absolutely no point in telling a student to code only in Google docs. Google docs is a great thing, I love it, but it is by no stretch of the imagination a coding tool.
(I see that this is an aged thread, but I'll respond in case someone else with a similar issue - like this year's class for that course - comes looking for an answer.)
You could try (ab)using bulleted lists:
Insert a bulleted list
Right click on the bullet, select "More bullets..."
In the "Symbol" selection list, choose "Format & whitespace" and select one of the whitespace options as bullet char
Repeat for as many levels (of bullet sub-lists) as you think you may need in your program
Fix indentation to match whatever feels best for you
Every time you need to write a nested block, you will have to press "tab" only once, then bullet list level is kept and the indentation with it. To go back to the outer block, just press shift-tab.
However, IMHO it doesn't worth the trouble. Generally, interview question solutions are not that large and hitting spacebar a couple of times is not much of an overhead.
It's somewhat cumbersome but you can set as many tab stops as you want, and docs will move nested tabs to the next tab stop as well. For example:
You can add tab stops by right clicking on that tab bar where you want the tab stop to be and clicking Add left tab stop. You'll want to have all text in the document selected if you want the tab stop to apply everywhere.
I usually spend a lot of time tinkering with existing code. I need to focus on only a small portion of the file, for which I would like to grey out the background for the rest of the file, so that the portion that I'm interested in stands out distinctively. This should increase my productivity immensely. Does anyone know how can I change background for only certain part of the file?
Try my NrrwRgn plugin. That opens a selected part of the code in a new window. Whenever you write your changes, the will be taken back to the original buffer.
You could of course use syntax highlighting or even the sign column (my BackgroundColor plugin does this) to distinct highlight a certain region, but this will be awkward and will get out of sync soon if you add lines or remove lines.
Try the limelight plugin for Vim. This Plugin Highlights the current code block and dimme the other code before and afterwards.
You can find it here:

At work, I have to jump into old mysql_query procedural website build higgledy-piggledy (some var are camelCased AND underscored, no indent code, page are build in table ...)
Anyway, usually I m using ST2, but here I can't. So to search my line code, I use dreamweaver to click on the screen preview and the cursor drop on the code line I want.
I do not like and I don't know dreamweaver. But as code is UNREADABLE, that is the only way I have to work.(My boss doesn't want rebuild theses sites).
Here is my question, does anybody know for ST2 a way (or a plugin) to split screen and click on screen preview to go right to the code line just like dreamweaver preview does ?
Regards.
Answer is simple, you will never find something like that.
Try here - http://webdesign.about.com/od/windowshtmleditors/tp/windows-wysiwyg-editors.htm
WYSWIG html editors.
Try Sublime CodeIntel, as well says this page:
...This plugin brings a little of IDE functionality into ST2. This plugin reads all your code and is able to code-complete, jump into
definitions and function call tooltips. Although sometimes looks a
little buggy, it’s still worth having it around. It’s a huge time
saver, especially when you are dealing with other’s people code.
If is suitable for that project you can remove the package later.
