I intend to replace Etherpad

a forever qualm about online code editor i have is that they don't do automatic indenting properly. I have never used etherpad, i'm not sure how well they did this, but textmate is a good example to model after :D

I agree wholeheartedly. The first thing I noticed with Bespin specifically that STILL hasn't been fixed as far as I can tell from using it for the last few minutes was the lack of auto indentation. It is such an important thing for a code editor. It HAS to be there.

EDIT: I see they added the autoindent setting last March. I still can't for the life of me figure out how to actually enable it. It should be on by default, no question about it.

Yeah, TextMate's auto-identing is very smart and usually perfect at reading my mind. I'd like to see something like that in an online collaboration notepad like this because it's a lot of work to do it manually after using TextMate so much ;-)

Does codemirror's indenting work well for you? I actually really like it.
