STM32Cube indent using 2 spaces, How can I change it to 4 spaces?

exp:

void function(void) {

  int cubemode;

}

void function(void) {

    int iexpect;

}

#indent

I hope it will be done one day

Replace '#t' by '#t#t' all file in "Program Files \STMicroelectronics\STM32Cube\STM32CubeMX\db\templates"

[Mich1]

we can see in these files:

[#if nTab==2]#t#t[#else]#t[/#if]

Could it be possible to define nTab somewhere?

[Microstar]

This may be a simpler way. I‘ll try.

I used a PowerShell command for this:

(With Administrator privileges) here C:\Program Files\STMicroelectronics\STM32Cube\STM32CubeMX\db\templates>

Get-ChildItem *.ftl -Recurse | ForEach { (Get-Content $_ | ForEach { $_ -replace 'nTab=1', 'nTab=2' }) | Set-Content $_ }

Seems to work

This hasn't been addressed yet, or has it?

Same question here. Would be a really tiny work for ST to finally implement this and would save us hours of "redesigning" the code every time again, when creating a new project.

BTW: Does anybody knows, where to find the template files of CubeIDE in order to edit them using the Powershell way mentioned above?

Here is my instructions, worked well for me,

# find your STM32CubeMX.jar, make backup if necessary
find /opt/st/stm32cubeide STM32CubeMX.jar
 
# copy to temporary directory
cp STM32CubeMX.jar /tmp/test
 
# download Java Jar explorer and decompiler
https://github.com/Col-E/Recaf
# use recaf to navigate to com/st/microxplorer/codegenerator/CodeEngine.class
search for replace("#t", " "), right click to the containing function "cleanCode", find for string " ", change to " "
 
# save the new jar file by File > Export Program
# close recaf, double check by reopen new jar file and confirm #t is now 4 spaces.
 
# restore new STM32CubeMX.jar to the original location

Check out my pre-patched cubemx here:

Found it. In Windows > Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors

Check "Insert spaces for tabs"

Hey, ST, any way to add a simple option in CubeMX to toggle that?
