[Monodevelop-devel] Default TextStyle's

[Christian Hergert]

While trying to figure out how to add a default style for python I
came across a couple things.  It seems like the mime-types that are
globally configurable are hard coded (See
MonoDevelop.Projects.Gui.Dialogs.OptionPanels/CodeFormattingPanel.cs
or patch below).  And beyond that, I can't seem to find a way to set
the default settings for a mime-type.  Am I correct in that all the
default global formats inherit from the plain-text style?

For python specifically, almost nobody does anything other than
PEP8[1] (4 space tabs, etc).  So having that as the default for
text/x-python makes a lot of sense.

Thoughts?  Should we consider getting this in quick for the 2.2 branch?
