Part of the problem is that Xcode (you know, the editor pretty much everybody will be using to write Swift) leaves blank lines indented. So to leave a blank line that doesn&#x27;t have indentation, you press Return, and you get an indented blank line; you then need to press Backspace some appropriate number of times to get the cursor back to column 0; then you press Return.<p>(In Xcode&#x27;s defence, the cursor is, then, at least indented.)<p>If you don&#x27;t use Xcode, you might not realise how crap Xcode is.
