Feature request: Please add text identation options to editor's preferences

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be very helpful if we were able to choose identation method: use tabs 
or spaces, and ability to select displayed width for tabs (in spaces mode 
editor should insert this amount of spaces on pressing Tab key). See Eclipse's 
Settings > General > Editor > Text Editors    as example.

Agreed. Lack of this feature is a deal-breaker for me. Going back to old HTML 
editor for now.

Agree: might be a bit annoying. I will work on this soon.

This is a 100% deal-breaker for me. I'm astonished that this hasn't been 
implemented in the 2.5 years since this was requested.

You don't even need to add new UI for this. Just make Django Editor honor 
Eclipse's existing "Insert space for tab" and "Displayed tab width" settings in 
the Settings > General > Editor > Text Editors preferences.
