Suggestion for correcting the IDE's script editor

[Jon]

Chipp:

I'm slightly annoyed at the auto-format feature (<tab> key), because it 
does not support my particular and unconventional style, but I accept that.

I'm much more frustrated with what I see as the buggy way the 
auto-indent feature works.  It gets in the way more often than it helps, 
and I've seen better UIs that do not get in the user's way.

Perhaps we should distinguish between the two features.  I think that 
Bob and I are more concerned about the auto-indent feature

Maybe we need an auto-auto-format feature, where the <tab> key is 
pressed for us, behind the scenes, after each key stroke <sick grin>
