[Mr. DJ]

I am trying to:
Format HTML with a button or key shortcute like [alt+shift+f] (microsoft visual code has this feature) in views editor.

I visited this URL:
Example what i mean: hidden link

I expected to see:
Simple button or key shortcute so my html in the view editor automatic formats with tabs etc.
Or just something else so the html in views look cleaner now some code takes 3/4 lines, its sometimes very confusing.

Instead, I got:

We do not have such feature in Views, but we use CodeMirror.

This allows you to indent HTML automatically by simply use return.

1. Insert any HTML, write, hit return
2. The Cursor will be now placed at the logical position of HTML, using a 2 spaces indent
3. When you close tags (HTML) they will be also reordered so the alignement matches with the opening ones.

ShortCodes are not using this as no HTML editor recognizes them as HTML.

Does this help?

Anyway, your ticket is filed as a request and as per such it should be handled by our Developers.
Somehow the ticket was not assigned directly to them, so I will now reassign it to Juan.

Hi there

Thanks for the fedback.

Views uses CodeMirror as its editor, for syntax highlighting. CodeMirror indeed includes a shortcut for HTML formtting: Shift+Tab will add indenting to your HTML structure:
hidden link

Hope it helps.

Regards.
