Use with other commands in macros(vs code extension)

[ghost]

I used to use Shift+Enter to insert a newline after current line, but the newline still has same indent with previous line, even the previous line is a Return Statement. So I want to use this indent etension to solve it. My idea is use macros and config the order like that:

"macros": {
        "insertLineAfterWithAutoIndent": [
             "cursorEnd",
             "pythonIndent.newlineAndIndent",
         ]
}

and bind this command with keyboard shortcuts Shift+Enter, but the result is not satisfied. It executes "pythonIndent.newlineAndIndent" firstly, and then executes "cursorEnd", I don't know why order is changed and want know whether this idea can be realize.

I've edited your issue text. If you wrap the text in triple back-ticks, then it will preserve your indentation:

```
{
  x
}
```

@zhongjimeiying I don't think macros are built into VSCode. What are you using to create macros?

Edit: just realized you said it was an extension. This seems like more of a problem with the macros extension, right?

@kbrose I think so. If your extension provide the the command -- {1.move cursor to line end 2.execute this extension script}, and bind it to shortcuts {Shift+Enter}, will be more useful.

If this is a problem with the macros library, then I encourage you to also open an issue there.

Shift+Enter is already a widely used shortcut to run the selected python code in the terminal. I'm not comfortable overwriting that shortcut by default.

However, I would review a Pull Request that adds an additional command pythonIndent.cursorEndAndNewLineAndIndent (with tests) which does the actions you list, and then you could set your own keyboard shortcut to activate that command.

I want to be clear that I won't probably will not add this feature myself any time soon.

@kbrose ok, thank you.

According to your words, I find the solution. That's a problem of macros extension indeed by viewing its issues. And I found another extension -- ctf0.macros, and it work fine with your pythonIndent.newlineAndIndent. Thank you again.

I’m glad you were able to find a solution that works for you!
