No, there isn’t. And there’s really no good way that could work except for an annotation like “Never reformat this form” - at the end of the day, reformatting is only moving spaces around.

So it would have to be manually annotated in the code somehow.

Maybe more general way to specify what should be aligned vertically?

Is that inside any form that a general rule could be made for?

I’m thinking of something like clojure.test/are where you might want to consistently align the columns.

@cfleming “Is that inside any form that a general rule could be made for?” I would not say that :thinking_face:

(my-form a b c) (my-form aaaa bbbb cccc)

Generally for me it would be fine to have checkboxes Don't touch multiple non-trailing spaces , Don't remove newlines so that Cursive only align code and insert missing space between words

Well, Cursive doesn’t remove newlines when reformatting at the moment.

I’m not sure how Cursive would determine “multiple non-trailing spaces” - basically, that would mean that Cursive wouldn’t reformat at all, as far as I can tell.

@cfleming «Cursive doesn’t remove newlines when reformatting at the moment.» Not in this case

@cfleming «I’m not sure how Cursive would determine “multiple non-trailing spaces”» I've meant not leading and trailing spaces.

Ah, IntelliJ has an action for that, “Auto-Indent lines”, which just adjusts the initial indent. Is that what you’re looking for?

Well, I've tested “Auto-Indent lines”, it's not exactly the what I want. My use-case (using parinfer): • there is a code formatted with “Default to only indent” disabled • I enable “Default to only indent” and want to update indentation • in this case “Auto-Indent lines” does not change indentation in forms but “Reformat Code” does. But “Reformat Code” also breaks all manual alignment Generally I would like to try various ideas to make code more readable but automatic code formatting makes it almost impossible.

Standard intellij rename refactoring is what I use

when I tried rename, it complained that yummly.utils.hash-map-util wasn't a valid identifier

Interesting

Perhaps the problem is with the folder depth change?

Yes, that’s the problem. Currently Cursive only allows renaming the last namespace segment, because otherwise files have to be moved. I’m planning to fix this soon.

Sorry, I realise this isn’t very useful.

Generally I search/replace old name -> new name and then use Cursive's “move file to correct location”. https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/C0744GXCJ/p1582827806029600

Moving the file (within the IDE) doesn't change the namespace either. It would be nice if it did. I search and replace the ns text as a workaround.

Yes, I definitely want to support that too.

@U0HJNJWJH, that's what I ended up doing. I was just hoping there might've been a more reliable way to use the refactoring capabilities of cursive/intellij
