Behavior for <tab> key #32

Open cmundi opened 12 years ago

cmundi commented 12 years ago

I love using and SHIFT+ to change the indentation of a line or a whole block of selected code.

There are times when I'd like to be able to insert spaces (in lieu of 0x08) to fixed tab-stops, for example to add aligned comments to the "ends" of lines of code, like I do in other editors. I don't know how practical this is, since most windowing systems will catch things like CTRL+ and ALT+. Anyway, it's something to think about to save keystrokes and make code pretty.

CodeMirror recently changed their tab behaviour, so that's a possibility. If a shortcut is not an option due to platform specific stuff, we could probably use something like the menu on Textmate that allows to switch between regular and soft tabs.
