[Qt-creator] The state of the clang-format plugin

[Riitta-Leena Miettinen]

Hello Nicolas,

I’ve tried to explain the current behavior in the Qt Creator Manual 8.0 snapshot here: https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qtcreator-8.0/creator-indenting-code.html#automatic-formatting-and-indentation

Could you read the instructions and let me know whether they are helpful and correctly describe the current behavior? Or give me some pointers about what I should change.

Cheers,

Leena

It can still be turned off, by selecting "indent only" in the combo box.

I'm confused now. What is that special shortcut?
