Indent size

Property names:

indent_size, [resharper_]cpp_indent_size

Possible values:

an integer

Examples:

value: 0

if (condition) { if (condition1) { foo1(); foo2(); } else { foo3(); foo4(); } }

value: 1

if (condition) { if (condition1) { foo1(); foo2(); } else { foo3(); foo4(); } }

value: 2

if (condition) { if (condition1) { foo1(); foo2(); } else { foo3(); foo4(); } }

Tab width

Property names:

tab_width, [resharper_]cpp_tab_width

Possible values:

an integer

Examples:

value: 0

if (condition) { if (condition1) { foo1(); foo2(); } else { foo3(); foo4(); } }

value: 1

if (condition) { if (condition1) { foo1(); foo2(); } else { foo3(); foo4(); } }

value: 2

if (condition) { if (condition1) { foo1(); foo2(); } else { foo3(); foo4(); } }

  • use_tabs_only: Only use tabs (inaccurate)

  • optimal_fill: Mix tabs and spaces for optimal fill
