    Hello,

    i have a couple of questions. The language i am using is Ruby.

    (1) How do i auto-ident? i want to do something like highlight my code, and select some menu option to
        indent the code properly according to the code blocks.

    (2) How can i set it up so that every time i press the 'tab' key, it's substituted instead by, say, four
        'space' characters.

    Thanks alot in advance,

    john

      Your second question " How can i set it up so that every time i press the 'tab' key, it's substituted instead by, say, four 'space' characters." Can be accomplished with
      "Settings.....Preferences" select the "Edit Components" tab look on the right side for "Tab Setting" place a check mark in the "Replace by space" checkbox. Change the tab size in the same place.
