    It would be really handy if there was an option to change the way tabs are inserted into the document, and alow for spaces to be inserted instead.

      That would be great. I'm a strong believer in K&R's 2 space style tabbing. Its SO MUCH nicer to look at when you're viewing source in different programs, since tab size can be inconsistent between programs.

        I don't like spaces. They increase the filesize too much. A tab is just one character, 2 spaces are absolutely two :-) So you will get something about the half of the filesize with tabs instead of 2 spaces.

          This is why it might be a good idea to have a choice on the matter.

          Regarding file size: it would take A LOT of spaces to significantly affect a files size... though, I do agree with you to a point.
