Use tab character

• If this checkbox is selected, tab characters are used:

  • On pressing the Tab key

  • For indentation

  • For code reformatting

• When the checkbox is cleared, IntelliJ IDEA uses spaces instead of tabs.

Smart tabs

• If this checkbox is selected, the part of indentation defined by the nesting of code blocks, is made of the tabs and (if necessary) spaces, while the part of indentation defined by the alignment is made only of spaces.

• If this checkbox is cleared, only tabs are used. This means that a group of spaces that fits the specified tab size is automatically replaced with a tab, which may result in breaking fine alignment.

The Smart tabs checkbox is available if the Use tab character checkbox is selected.

Tab size

In this field, specify the number of spaces included in a tab.

Indent

In this field, specify the number of spaces to be inserted for each indent level.

Continuation indent

In this field, specify the number of spaces to be inserted between the elements of an array, in expressions, method declarations and method calls.

Right Margin

Use these settings to specify a margin space required on the right side of an element. If you select Default option then a value of the right margin from the global settings will be used.

Wrap on typing

Use these settings settings to specify how the edited text is fitted in the specified Right margin. You can select one the following options:

• Default: in this case IntelliJ IDEA uses the Wrap on typing option that is specified in the global settings.

• Yes: in this case the value in the specified right margin is used.

• No: in this case this option is switched off and a line can exceed the number that is specified in the right margin.
