Shortcut to Indent code in delphi 2007

Question

Is there a way to indent the code in delphi? I have to work on a programm that has thousands of lines of code. In eclipse which i had worked before, i have used CTRL + SHIFT + F to format all code by formatting tabs/whitespaces and also divide code lines in a way that it is visible without horizontal scroll. Is there a way to do the same in delphi?

You can use the tab key to indent, or `Ctrl + K + I` / `Ctrl + K + U` — Jerry Dodge, Nov 12 '15 at 12:46

There is a way to format the code in the whole unit with indentation.

Menu -> Edit -> Format Source

You can also use Ctrl + K + I and Ctrl + K + U to indent current or selected lines.

@delsql you can try CnPack: http://www.cnpack.org It contains a tool for code formatting. – kot-da-vinci Nov 12 '15 at 14:13

I assume you are looking for a way to format the code in the whole unit with indentation.

This is not included in the regular IDE. But there is a code formatter contained in an 'experimental' version of the GExperts:

In addition to the code formatter in GExperts, which mjn already mentioned, there is also one in CnPack.

Activate CnPack -> Editor Enhancements -> Tab/ShiftTab to indent/unindent
Press Alt then use the mouse to select a block text you want to indent. Note: with Alt pressed you can select multiple lines of code starting at a random column (opposite of what would happen if you don't press Alt, when your selection will be applied of full rows).
Press Tab to move/indent the selected block of text.

My life would be sad without Alt+Block select then Tab.
