Automatic spaces before and after symbols in Lazarus IDE

[AlexanderK]

Hello!
I want the editor to automatically insert spaces before and after symbols when I press enter and for this purpose I configured relevant options in Codetools->Space (see the screenshot attached). The preview shows exactly what I want, but there is no such effect when I come to use the editor. Any thoughts?

when I press enter

Those settings only act on code completion.

That is.
- (Afaik) identifier completion (after dot, or ctrl-space), if this leads to symbols like := being added
- local variable creation. shift-ctrl-c
- procedure creation. shift-ctrl-c on methods in interface.
- code generated by creating events from object inspector


There also is Jedi code formatter... But I don't use it, so I can't help with that.
