    Hello,

    Was wondering if you ever plan to put a check box in the options allowing tabs ( "\t" ) to be rendered as spaces ( " ").

    This would be very handy to preserve formating across multiple editors.

      you can change tabs and spaces in the edit menu
      "Tabs to spaces" and "Spaces to tabs"

      I understand this. But the feature I'm requesting is one that once checked, when ever you press Tab on the keyboard, instead of inserting a "\t" it inserts the number of spaces defined in the options menu under Options->General Options->General->Tab Width.

      The reason why this would be handy, is because sometimes when you selected Tabs to Spaces the formatting appears different (Not sure why).
