Hello, 

 

Does exist an option in modelsim source editor that allows aligning source code, e.g. clicking on "Enter" after "begin" moves the cursor jump on next line and get it aligned with the "begin" ... not with the start of line. 

On the image below - the actual behavior of modelsim editor: the cursor jumps at startline (cursor position is indicated by red arrow).  

Thanks.

If I were you I would set ModelSim up to use an external editor (e.g. Notepad++ on Windows/gedit on Linux). You'll get much better indenting support.

No 

Use a better editor (there are many out there that are free)
