Can't explain this indenting behavior

[vdende]

I have this code:

When I put my cursor on line 269 and press tab, it inserts 54 whitespace characters and puts the cursor at that position.

Also when I put the cursor just below var on col 4 and hit tab, it inserts 50 whitespaces and puts the cursor at col 54.

Is there any VS Code setting which causes this behavior?

Indentation is computed by VS Code line by line ; it's possible to define a regular expression that triggers an indentation increment, and another regexp for indentation decrement. A line ending with : increments indentation and a end something? decrements indentation. However, increment is based on the first character of the line. In your case the first character is pcRequestMode so your cursor goes at column 54 (approx.). There's no real solution to this problem, ABL is not the only language where this behavior can be seen. I usually disable auto indent on ABL code:

  "[abl]": {
    "editor.autoIndent": "none"
  }

Is there config in the settings UI for this? Or is it something that you need to write into the settings JSON?

You can set the property in the UI:

Not sure if there's per-language UI.
