mint start modifies source.

[Camto]

Running mint start changes the sources files to use two space indenting every time I save my files. This really confuses the text editors redo-undo feature, undoing makes Sublime text use half two space indenting and half tab indenting for whatever reason.

I think letting tabs be a thing would help "developer happiness" as something that is being focused on because for me, and other people using non two space indenting that automatic change can be a tad annoying.

There are two planned features that will help with this:

1. Allow specifying the indent level or characters (2 spaces, 4 spaces, etc..) for the formatting
2. Add a flag to the start command to turn off automatic formatting

I don't have an ETA for this, but it probably won't be long.

Might be worth mentioning that we could possibly read an .editorconfig http://editorconfig.org/ file that automates this configuration.

I think the .editorconfig is a good idea, anyone knows if there is a shard that parses that format?

this should be easy to port to Crystal - however it only goes up to 0.9 and the latest is 0.12 - not sure what the difference in functionality is - I think it would take me a few hours to port this - however I don't want to support it or update it to 0.12 - as too busy at the moment.

The indent-size can now be set in the mint.json file in the formatter-config object (in 0.4.0)
