Support for tab-indentation

[chrisgrieser]

Neat plugin, nice that something like this can be done in ~100 lines.

Could indentation with tabs also be supported?

[emersonfbarros]

I would like that too. Tab indentation is what's needed for me to replace indent-blankline (which has many features that I don't use) with indentmini.

Sorry for the late reply. These days I try to do some optimizations to make it faster. about tab , I usually use the tab option in listchars.

this is my listchar setting listchars=tab:»·,nbsp:+,trail:·,extends:→,precedes:←, and i think its enough for tab ?

Hey, I know this issue was closed, but I thought it would look coherent to have indent lines with tab indentation, so I tried doing it. The following diff shows the changes I made if you are interested:

how it looks like on tab indent file then. if looking great this minimal patch it's okay :)

[AyushRawal]

It looks good to me. Here is a screenshot of some code in golang:

Should I make a pull request or will you add it yourself in the next commit ?
