如何使用制表符空格键缩进代码？

Question

For example, how can I type JS some code that looks like this into the Firefox console:

if (10 > 5) { 
    alert("Hello world!");
    alert("How are you doing today?");
    alert("I'm doing great, thanks!")
}

Without resorting to using the space bar or my operating system's clipboard?

I'd like to be able to use the tab key to indent my code in the Firefox console. Whenever I press tab, Firefox goes through all the elements of the browser and web page without indenting my code.

I'm using the console provided by the Ctrl+Shift+K shortcut.

Answer 1

You could use the Scratchpad . It is better-designed for multi-line code editing, and supports using the tab character to indent code.

You can find it under the Developer Tools menu. Tools > Web Developer > Scratchpad on OS X, and Menu > Developer > Scratchpad on other platforms.

You can also add it to the Toolbox under Toolbox Options (the settings gear), and checking the Scratchpad checkbox.

Answer 2

Can try Shift + Tab (not sure if that will work on firefox, but it works in Chrome)

This probably wont answer your question either but it might....

Editor Preferences

Preferences for the CodeMirror source editor, which is included in Firefox and used by several developer tools, including Scratchpad and the Style Editor.

Detect indentation: auto-indent new lines based on the current indentation Autoclose brackets Indent using spaces Tab size Keybindings: choose the default CodeMirror keybindings, or keybindings from one of several popular editors: Vim Emacs Sublime Text
