[–] xigoi@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) It's not just “might”. Termux is pretty much the only good choice for programming on Android. I think 9 is the best size for indent (matter of preference), do you think I should switch to space I think you should switch to an exorcist. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] wgs@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago (2 children) What's your point ? You can use vim on termux and set the tabsize to whatever you want for example. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] xigoi@lemmy.sdf.org 1 point 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) Yes, but if you use something like cat, head, less, etc. to view code, or the Python REPL, you're still going to see the default tab size. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] wgs@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago You can set the tabstop with less -x*n*. But ok I see what you mean. I still stand by my point though. If termux doesn't support setting tabstops and it's an issue, then it's a bug in termux, not a reason to level down your formatting standard. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Also :exorcise is only a quick pluginstall away, anyway. /s permalink fedilink source parent
