By the way, is the bookmarks plugin coming to 13 later?

 

Bookmarks, Navigator and the multi threading debugger extension from Parnassus should arrive on GetIt in a few days.

The reason is simple : it's disabled for Delphi (but can be used by IDE plugins or for next update or release)

It should have been hidden for Delphi. Having it visible but but disabled, with no way to make it enabled, is just confusing; Poor UI design.

Autoformat has one huge advantage (apart from laziness, of course): It catches wrong indentations that suggest wrong code flows:

if Condition then
  doX;
  doY;
doOtherStuff;

 

I mean just never ever ever use single statement, always use compound and it's a non problem.

😂 I can quickly identify code not written by me when I see a minor formatting difference. Even 20 years later 😂

Ditto. I was deposed years ago and the attorney was asking me questions about the code. He had a printout. He got to one part and I said that is not mine. He asked how did I know. I showed him all the code that was mine by the style of formatting I use. That ended the code questions.

I spent nearly a decade undoing my built-in left-pinky-shift uppercase reserved word habit, imbued during the pre-syntax-coloring years 🤣

 

However, I won't give up my if/then/else formatting, and I haven't found a formatter able to replicate it. So, I guess I don't miss that formatter.

So if you get some source code to work on, you really go through it and add begin/end for every code block? I for one are definitely to lazy for that.

What kind of strange formatting might that be?

I was just about asking the same

And then you write things like this https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-23924

 

function TBaseFoo.BrokenFoo: IFoo;
var
  LOwner: TComponent;
begin
  Result := nil;
  if Supports(Self, IFoo) then
    Result := Self as IFoo
  else
    LOwner := Owner;
    // if block execution will continue here !!!! 
    while LOwner <> nil do
    begin
      if Supports(LOwner, IFoo) then
      begin
        Result := LOwner as IFoo;
        Break;
      end
      else
        LOwner := LOwner.Owner;
    end;
end;

I don't "get some source code to work on". It's all our own code and we all follow the house style, obviously.

So you are a lucky one. For me it's also mostly our own code, but some of it is so ancient that it did not follow the our current style. Of course that's only at work, my hobby projects are a different story all together: Many different styles from many different authors. Some even from past me.
