The formatter in Delphi 2010 is really an annoying thing to me.
I prefer formatting my code manually.
I believe I do it better.
How can I disable it?
NOTE: Answers on why I don't use it in the first place will not be accepted. I need it switched OFF. Nothing more, nothing less.
Install DDevExtensions from Andreas Hausladen.
In its last version:
Version 2.0 (2009-09-13)
Added: Embarcadero RAD Studio 2010 support
Added: Editor tab double click action (zoom, super-zoom)
Added: Source Formatter hotkey (Ctrl+D) can be disabled
Remove or rename the file Embarcadero.Modeling.Formatter.dll in Delphi's bin directory.
There is no need for downloading and installing an extension, not even for deleting a file!
In the Delphi 10 Options head to:
Formatting / Delphi / Profiles and Status
(the captions may differ slightly, I have translated them from German)
There is a Checkbox there, titled "Activate Formatting".
Possible downside: This Formatter feature is also deactivated in the Edit menu.
