In my company the coding standards encourage the use of space to stress similarities between chunks of code for instance we prefer something like this : aaaabbb = fun("aaaabbb" , 100, 1000); aaaa = fun("aaaa" , 0, 10000); aaaacccccc = fun("aaaacccccc", 10000, 100); to the result after indentation with netbeans : aaaabbb = fun("aaaabbb", 100, 1000); aaaa = fun("aaaa", 0, 10000); aaaacccccc = fun("aaaacccccc", 10000, 100); Indenting some old code with netbeans destroys some of the visual structure of the code. Whether you like to put space anywhere or you don't , netbeans should allow the user to put "meaningful" spaces within lines of code. A check box to enable/disable this feature in the identation tab would be great. Thanks
