Identation inside a multi-line string not aware of surrounding context

[leandrobbraga]

Summary

Would be nice if the context indentation level would be maintained while editing multi-line strings.

For example:

Vscode

Helix

My guess is that Helix is using the current indent level of the surrounding function, instead of using the string's internal content indentation level.

NOTE: I tried with a new commit as well (4e86d1c), same behavior

Reproduction Steps

Create a multi-line string that have some indentation level, example:

fn my_function() {
    let query = r#"
    SELECT
        id|<- cursor here 
    FROM table"#
}

If you try to add a newline with "open-below" (o), the indentation will match the "let" level instead of the "id".

What happens

fn my_function() {
    let query = r#"
    SELECT
        id
    |<- here
    FROM table"#
}

What's expected

fn my_function() {
    let query = r#"
    SELECT
        id
        |<- here
    FROM table"#
}
