GDScript, auto indent on paste like in PyCharm/VSCode

[0x01011970]

I am referring to Python in this issue because GDScript is heavily inspired by it.

For Python, in PyCharm and VSCode (with https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=hyesun.py-paste-indent), copy pasting code auto adjusts indentation based on the target location.

I copy bellow the demo from VSCode/Python.

Without this feature, one needs to manually indent code after pasting, by selecting the code and pressing Tab or Shift+Tab multiple times until the indentation is correct.

I tried activating "Auto-format on Paste: Indent" in "Typing Assistance", it does not work.

Is this feature planned to be developed so that it matches PyCharm behavior ?

Thank you for reporting.
This one is planned for 2025.3 https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-129204/Format-code-would-change-indents-in-gdscript

Thanks for the quick reply.

I already had a look at these issues, and re-checked now, thanks.

It does not look like they are addressing the copy pasting issue when the target indentation is different than the source, per the VSCode demo I shared.

We will get to the indentation issues, can't promise exactly when.
If you want to try poking with the source, here are the contribution docs https://github.com/JetBrains/godot-support/blob/master/gdscript/documentation/contribution/local_setup.md
Just enabling the reformat on paste should be easy one, but I think first we need to make indentation better.
