           Summary: indentation remains on new (empty) line even when I only
                    press return again
           Product: kate
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwrite-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: nickthompson agere com


Version:           2.4.91 (using KDE 3.4.91 (beta1, >= 20050910), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-42)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-20.ELsmp

If I have a line of 'C' source with the cursor at the end and I then press return I \
get, for example (with '.' as visible space and '|' as cursor):

....if (x == 1) {
........|

If I now only press return again and then type something else, I get:

....if (x == 1) {
........
......../* a comment */|

Not strictly wrong in any sense, but would it be possible to avoid leaving the indent \
chars on line 2 of the example?

One way would be to check if the line is otherwise empty and remove the spaces if \
return is pressed. It would be better, if kate new that it had just put those spaces \
there and not remove them if it hadn't, but that might be going too far...

Another solution might be, to always insert the return by backtracking through white \
space and inserting the return there, rather than at the cursor position. Hmm not \
sure about that one.

Final idea, an option called "Remove trailing white space on return", that cleans up \
trailing white space only on lines where return is pressed.

I can't enable remove trailing white space, since it might modify lines I have not \
touched (e.g. svn blame assigned to me).
