Auto-indent inside of multi-line strings

Hi Jason,

What type of file is it in your case? Can you provide a code sample?

Just create a ruby file, and start a multi-line string.

say

query = <<-QUOTE
{
	"query": {
		"edges": [
			{
				"id": "141231232", <hit enter here>
				<its supposed to put you here>
<but it puts you here instead>
			}
		]
	}
}

But you could use just double quotes, or %Q or anything else that starts a multi-line string definition. The auto-indent doesn't work inside of multi-line strings. This means for cases like the above, if your adding a lot of lines you spend a great deal of time just hitting tab constantly to fix the indentation for each line your trying to enter, individually.

Hi Stephen378baker , Are you a bot? Because you repeated what I asked verbatim, then replied with search results that don't reflect what I was asking about.

For the record, removing indentation from a multi-line string, after the string is already defined isn't a problem.

The problem is that Intellij's auto-indent (while typing into the editor) doesn't seem to function when your cursor is inside of a string defined within the code. It works fine when your outside of a string definition, say typing code into a method or defining a class.

Intellij's auto-indentation also works fine when your typing in a file that it doesn't consider strictly code. Such as a JSON file or some regular text file.

I would just like to have this feature work, ANYWHERE inside of a code file. Not just in certain places within a code file.

Jason Stillwell, that looks similar to a known issue we have, could you please take a look at it and add your vote if you find it related.
