When creating multiple new lines, Sublime only leaves indented the final the line I end up on, and not those above it

Question

In Sublime, when you hit return, it auto-indents the new line, according to syntax. However, if I hit return more than once, going multiple lines down, the previous lines do not remain indented. They have no indentation at all, and if I wish to go back to them to add something, I have to manually indent them.

Sometimes I like to have some white space in my code for aesthetic reasons. Is there a solution to this? Some other editors leave the lines indented in this use case.

Answer 1

Figured it out. Setting "trim_automatic_white_space" to false (true by default) creates the behavior I want. Nice to know there was so much thought put into this editor as to include that option.

Answer 2

Default:  "trim_automatic_white_space": true,

Trims white space added by auto_indent when moving the caret off the line.
