How to make 'Add Indent' work for all lines including empty lines?

Hi,

I recently upgrade UE from v18 to v23.00.
In UE v18 the feature 'Add Indent' added space indent to all lines including empty lines, this is not done in UE v23.00.

Example text before 'Add Indent':

Code: Select all

First line with content¶
¶
Empty line above¶

(UE v18) Example text after 'Add Indent' 2 char:

Code: Select all

  First line with content¶
  ¶
  Empty line above¶

(UE v23) Example text after 'Add Indent' 2 char:

Code: Select all

  First line with content¶
¶
  Empty line above¶

With the new version of UE no indention is done on the empty line.

How can I change this in UE v23.00 to make it work as it was in UE v18?

You are right. From UE v22.20.0.49 (last public v22.20) to v23.00.0.42 (first public v23.00) the add indent behavior changed regarding empty lines, i.e. lines not containing any character (whitespace or non-whitespace). This add indent behavior change is not public documented anywhere. (It was listed as an improvement in an email about release candidate 2 fixes / improvements sent to the beta testers of v23.00.)

There is in UE v23.00.0.59 not configuration setting to add indent spaces/tabs also on empty lines.

So I can only suggest sending an enhancement request email to IDM support for a configuration setting Indent empty lines with indent behavior for empty lines according to this added setting.
