Indenting code in Sublime text 2?

Question

In Visual Studio I can press Ctrl+K+D to indent everything so the code is structured nicely and readable. Is there a shortcut in Sublime 2 to do the same?

Answer 1

You can find it in Edit → Line → Reindent, but it does not have a shortcut by default. You can add a shortcut by going to the menu Preferences → Keybindings → User, then add there:

{ "keys": ["f12"], "command": "reindent", "args": {"single_line": false} }  

(example of using the F12 key for that functionality)

The config files use JSON-syntax, so these curly braces have to be placed comma-separated in the square-brackets that are there by default. If you don't have any other key-bindings already, then your whole Keybindings → User file would look like this, of course:

[
    { "keys": ["f12"], "command": "reindent", "args": {"single_line": false}}
]

Answer 2

The reindent command only works on the currently selected lines unless the "single_line" argument is set to false.

{ "keys": ["f12"], "command": "reindent", "args": {"single_line": false} }

Now, pressing f12 will reindent the entire document.

Answer 3

No one seems to love mac re-indentation, So here How I do it:

[
   { "keys": ["command+shift+i"], "command": "reindent"}
]

In Preferences > Key Binding - User

One more extra tip: add

{ "keys": ["command+0"], "command": "focus_side_bar" }

to have sidebar file tree view navigation using keyboard.

Note: Add , at the end of each {}, if you have more than one {} set of objects

Answer 4

There is no default shortcut for reindenting a file. However you can create one by following eznme's answer above.

You can also use the Command Palette by pressing:

1. Control+Shift+P (or ⌘+Shift+P on a Mac)
2. Type the first few characters of Reindent e.g: rein
3. Press Enter to run the command
   (The first command at the top should now show Indentation: Reindent Lines)

Answer 5

For those interested it is easy to change but for a lover of Netbeans and the auto-format you can change the key binding from F12 to ctrl+shift+F to use your beloved key binding. Sad part is that you have to select all to format the entire file. Netbeans still has the upper hand on that. If anyone knows how to overcome that limitation I'm all ears. Otherwise happy reindenting (auto-formating).

Answer 6

To indent with the same keys like Visual Studio Ctrl+K+D (I am a Visual Studio user so I am used to this combination) I suggest:

[
{ "keys": ["ctrl+k", "ctrl+d"], "command": "reindent", "args": {"single_line": false} }
]

Write this on Preferences>Key Bindings - User

Answer 7

It is very simple. Just go to Edit=>Line=>Reindent

Answer 8

Netbeans like Shortcut Key

Go to Preferences > Key Bindings > User and add the code below:

[
    { "keys": ["ctrl+shift+f"], "command": "reindent", "args": {"single_line": false} }
]

Usage

Ctrl + Shift + F

Answer 9

Select all code that you intend to indent, then hit Ctrl + ] in Sublime text to indent.

For macOS users, use command + ] to indent, and command + [ to un-indent.

Answer 10

Answer 11

Beside of the inbuilt 'reindent' function, you can also install other plugins, such as SublimeAStyleFormatter and CodeFormatter. These plugins are better for their specify language.

Answer 12

Just in case this stop working for anyone like me, in OS X, the command key is identified as superso it should be able to do something like this:

[
    {
    "keys": ["super+i"], 
    "command": "reindent", 
    "args": {
        "single_line": 
        false}
    } 
]

in this case using command+i is going to indent your whole code (eclipse like :) )

Answer 13

I used to use Alt + Shift + F in NetBeans, I checked and there isn't any collision in the default keymap array of sublime, so I added it to my sublime and I'm using it without any problem.

Answer 14

For those who like the default key binding for IntelJ IDEA, select Preferences > Settings - User:

And paste in the following to have the command + shift + l shortcut for auto indent:

[
   { "keys": ["command+shift+l"], "command": "reindent"}
]

Answer 15

You can add a shortcut by going to the menu Preferences → Keybindings → User, then add there:

{ "keys": ["f12"], "command": "reindent", "args": {"single_line": false} }  

Answer 16

For Auto-Formatting in Sublime Text 2: Install Package: Tag from Command Palette, then go to Edit -> Tag -> Auto-Format Tags on Document

Answer 17

Select everything, or whatever you want to re-indent and do Alt+ E+L+R. This is really quick and painless.

Answer 18

This is my configuration for sublime-keymap:

[
  {
    "keys": [",+=+="],
    "command": "reindent",
    "args": {
      "single_line": false
    }
  }
]

For vim people, just use ,== to reindent the whole file.

Answer 19

{ "keys": ["f12"], "command": "reindent", "args": {"single_line": false} } 

You can get the reindent option by using the above code

Answer 20

First open the sublime text.
than open preferences.
than open Key Bindings -User.
than put the below code

[{"keys": ["ctrl+shift+c"], "command": "reindent"},]

I use CtrlShiftC and you also use other short cut key.
