Feature request: automatic indentation

[rix0rrr]

Hi,

I was hoping to have the Alloy editor have automatic indentation, like most code editors.

This means that if you are indented to a certain level (say, 4 spaces), when you press [Enter] to go to a new line, your cursor would remain at column 4 instead of being sent back to column 0, and you having to type 4 spaces to get back to the same indentation level.

I'd be happy to try and contribute this change, if there'd be interest in accepting it.

Hi, I don't think the core team will implement this but we would welcome a PR, yes, thanks.

That being said, I think the way to go is rather to rely on an external editor with LSP support (even more so since LSP is embedded in A6.2).

Is there support for code actions in the LSP, such that you can run commands using the LSP? I briefly tested in nvim but it didn't seem to work. I think this will be a prerequisite for any real usage from external editors.

I have no idea...
