Arrow up / arrow down / indents

[user3323]

• VSCode Version: 1.17.0-ins
• OS Version: win7x64

There is some function, and for in it, so when you do some Enter's to move down and then press "arrow up" or "arrow down" - your caret position will "fall through" all indents to the left, so user has to press Tab every time, to move the caret where it should be.

Annoying.

This is not just annoying, a fix for this is a prerequisite for some people including me to start using VSCode.

The problem is amplified when you have more indentations (especially in languages like C# with namespaces) cause you have to press tab multiple times to get to the current indentation. To be clear:

• Moving the caret up/down with arrows should always stay on the current block indentation
• Clicking an empty line should position caret to the selected block indentation
• Pressing tab once should get to the current block indentation

For the love of god fix this, Visual Studio has had this right for ages.

I found out that by disabling the Trim Auto Whitespace can sort of fix this issue🤔

Hope this is what you are looking for, at least I'm very happy with my end result🎉
