You have two options to switch on this feature: (1) call the function setAutoIndent(True) on the QsciScintilla editor or (2) call the function setAutoIndentStyle(..) on the lexer.

Hey Phil,


Tried implementing blockStart() and blockEnd(), but it throws a TypeError if using for example:

<https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/qscintilla>
def blockStart(self):
        return "{"

def blockEnd(self):
        return "}"
With a bit of trial&error I found that the methods need to return a tuple of (bytes, int). Why?

Thanks,
Matic
