Feature request: pp button in REPL

[voj]

I find myself typing (clojure.pprint/pp) several times a week. It would be awesome to have a button for that.

It seems like what you really want is a Live Template, see #332.

I guess what I really want is a toggle for pretty printing return values on the REPL, but Live Templates would certainly be good enough 80% of the time.

(I hope this didn't come across as sarcastic. The toggle actually only occurred to me after your reply.)

[cursive-ide]

Yeah, I'm actually planning another change to syntax highlight and pretty print values in the REPL automatically. My plan was to allow it to happen automatically, or provide a button as you suggest to format the last output item for people with a lot of REPL output who don't want the performance overhead.

[voj]

That'd be nice :-)

[bluesxman]

Yes, that'd be great!

I'd also like this feature, pprinting a map relatively often.

In the next build there is now an option (on by default) to automatically format values returned from the REPL. This should be very fast, even for large maps. There's an additional sub-option to split multi-line strings and align them if required.
