Let VAX insert spaces/tabs for the programmer!
An additional setting in VAX, where you specify a certain style for keyword separation. That is, insert spaces where you want them. There are several styles:

if (op + op1 * op3 == (op4 + op5))
   for (int x = 0; x < 10; ++x) Foo(x);
if(op+op1*op3==(op4+op5)) // (Yuck!)
   for(int x=0; x<10; ++x) Foo(x);
if ( op + op1 * op3 == ( op4 + op5 ) ) // (Microsoft?)
   for ( int x = 0; x < 10; ++x ) Foo( x );

Another scenario:

void Foo(int a, int b, int c, int d)
{
}
vs
void Foo(int a,
         int b,
         int c,
         int d
         )
{
}

You get the idea... The question is whether Alt+F8 should do this, or if it should be done while typing. Perhaps an option called "Enable advanced indentation rules"?

We have discussed the idea of code formatting internally, but we have no current plans to try and offer this.

You can use VS2005's own code formatting when coding in C# to achieve the coding style you want in the first scenario. See Options --> Text Editor --> C# --> Formatting. The second scenario I can't find a setting for. I don't know what language or what IDE you are using, so this may or may not be useful to you.

The simplest solution is often the most difficult one to reach.

Most of our users are working in C++, so unfortunately these options are probably not much use.
