automatic formatting of try-catch

[dave2]

I use Qt Creator 4.12.4 on Windows 10.

When I type:

try

Qt Creator brings up a pop-up menu where the first item is "try{}catch(){}". When I select this item, Qt Creator automatically adds the following code:

try {
    
} catch () {
    
}

Is it possible to change the settings so the code would be:

try
{
    
}
catch ()
{
    
}

?

I was unable to find any setting for doing that in the "C++" part of the "Options - Qt Creator" dialog.

Hi @dave2,

Actually there are two items, the second one try and catch is a snippet, so you can adjust it: Tools > Options > Text Editor > Snippets > C++

The first one try {} catch () {} seems to come from Clang and can not be changed, AFAIK.

Use an automatic styler when saving the file (e.g. beautifier plugin) and don't worry about the formatting anymore.

@aha_1980 This is exactly, not almost, what I was looking for. Thanks a lot!
