 FAQ-O-Matic : JBuilder 7 General :
Why doesn't the Tab key work anymore in JBuilder 7? |
| The Tab key's action has been changed from "indent" to "format-code." When you press Tab it attempts to reformated the selected lines according to standard Java indentation conventions.
There are several problems with this. First, most non-emacs users find this to be an unintuitive use of Tab. Second, this only works with Java files, so for HTML, JSP's, XML, etc. the Tab key has been rendered useless. Third, even in Java files the indentation isn't always perfect (but it's pretty good).
One simple solution to this is to rebind Tab back to its old "indent" action, and put "format-code" on F2 which is bound to "indent" by default. In other words, exchange the actions of Tab and F2. Another option is to simply get used to the new Tab behavior and use F2 for what used to be called Tab.

When you run the JRun Deplyment Wizard for the first time, it will add a menu for it in JBuilder on the Tools menu. However, the way it does it causes an error.
