Editor Auto Indent

I keep hitting Ctr+K+D to auto indent my code when i'm in linqpad but it comments my code instead.

it would be great if linqpad could indent the code automatically.

    It would be nice if it indented object creation blocks properly (e.g. new {...}) or at least left them alone when manually indented.

    Update: I see you can use tab/shift-tab to indent/undent a block of selected lines.

    If i remember correct the editor is an external component (either from #develop or another project/package). Anyway, if the external editor supports it, then LinqPad should automatically do also. So i think you're barking up the wrong tree. Btw: Yes, it would be quite handy to have an auto format.

    I guess i set my VS different from most (C# as opposed to web?) ... its Ctrl+E,D that I press in linqpad to no effect :-)

    Even the paid version doesn't have this facility. Such a shame. :(

    I use Ctrl K, Ctrl D all day long in VS. Auto Code Formatting would be a great feature in LINQPad, mainly due to the copy/paste/test/scratchpad work - code quickly becomes a visual mess.

    I moved my vote to the more powerful feature linked by B T

    Somewhat disagree - Linkpad gives 1-touch shortcuts for the very commonly used comment and uncomment commands - Ctrl+K, Ctrl+U - I've always found it stupid that VS requires a 2-key combo for these.
    So linqpad could use some other shortcut, or only do this in VS mode.
