I noticed a posting for a feature request for [tabs || spaces], has this been implemented?
msg_id=3927226
I for one like the ability to switch the mode (tabs <-> spaces). The work around is to use the TextFX. I did convert everything to TABS, but unfortuanatly it could not convert them back (the menu item did not work). In addition, my prefered TAB behavior, when nothing is selected is to insert a tab.
Lucky me I have a tcl script for this. Besides, that the TextFX tool is a little combersome as this feature is not under the edit menu, but trailing spaces is. Is see the TextFX tool as somthing like script-foo in Gimp. Crimson Editor's [Edit] menu is the best I've seen in a Xbased editor. To bad it is a dinosaur compared to Notepad++.
Anyway, if this is not implemented I think I could roll my own and if anyone is interested... I would certainly share it.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
As a follow up, I figured out that the TextFX works in conjunction with the current Tab setting such that it will overide 'spaces -> tabs' using the TextFX tool. This was not what I expected. Any claim that I may have inferred that it was not working please disregard.
Thanks Don

TextFX is one of plugins included in Notepad++ official release. That's why all the TextFX commands are under the TextFX menu but not in Notepad++ menu.
