# Auto Detect Indention Plugin for [Notepad++](https://notepad-plus-plus.org/) [![AppVeyor build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/github/Chocobo1/nppAutoDetectIndent?branch=master&svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Chocobo1/nppAutoDetectIndent)

Detects indention (tab or spaces) and auto adjust Tab key on-the-fly

## What It Does

| Indention used in file | Tab key            |

| ---------------------- | ----------------------------- |

| Tabs                   | 1 tab                         |

| For example: 3 Spaces  | 3 spaces                      |

| Cannot determine       | Depends on Notepad++ settings |

## Installation

1. If you are running Notepad++ 7.6 or later:

   * You are encouraged to use [Plugins Admin](https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/plugins/#install-using-plugins-admin) for installation.

   * For manual installation instructions, read: [Install plugin manually](https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/plugins/#install-plugin-manually)

2. If you are running Notepad++ version prior to 7.6: \

   Download and extract the archive from below and move `nppAutoDetectIndent.dll` into Notepad++ `plugin` folder.

   * For Notepad++ x86: `C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins` \

   * For Notepad++ x64: `C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins`

## Download

## Why

Many projects have differnet coding style requirements, some use tabs other prefer spaces. \

And there is this holy war of [tabs or spaces](https://wiki.c2.com/?TabsVersusSpaces).

I first discovered this function in [Geany editor](https://www.geany.org/): [detecting-indent-type](https://geany.org/manual/dev/#detecting-indent-type) \

I thought it's cool because you don't have to worry about having the correct settings in your editor nor need to care about setting up [editorconfig](https://editorconfig.org/), it just works!
