Disable code autoformatting in Xcode?


Disable code autoformatting in Xcode?



Does anyone know of a way to completely disable any form of automatic formatting or indentation in the current version of Xcode? Essentially, as far as text editing, I want it to behave like a "dumb" editor, e.g. TextEdit or Notepad.





I am thinking about removing everything from your question apart the last paragraph since it's just useless noise and it doesn't have anything to do with the actual question.

Anyway, most likely Xcode is not the correct tool for you, it's not really configurable. However, as far as I know, Xcode behaves as dumb editor for every file it does not recognize. Therefore changing the file extension could do the trick.

Thanks. Do you know off-hand of any environment for the Mac that has similar functionality to XCode (or even better, MSVS), but with a fully configurable editor?

Any of the Idea versions (e.g. IntelliJ, Appcode, Webstorm) would be probably good enough for you as a simple editor. For example "Android Studio" version of Idea is free to download and there is also a Fortran plugin you could install.
