Tabs replaced with ^I #313

Open mike-lawrence opened 2 years ago

mike-lawrence commented 2 years ago

I'm an unrepentant tabs-over-spaces guy, coming from RStudio and working to transition to VSCode+radian. I notice that in the radian console, all my tabs get converted to ^I. It doesn't break code, just shows up funny in the output. Is this expected behaviour? Is there any way to prevent it?

tab inserts 4 spaces on macOS terminals. Not sure what happen in VSCode though. What OS you are using btw?

Ubuntu 20.04

The behaviour I mention occurs when using the VSCode-R extension to send code to radian, so possibly that extension is the culprit in translating the tab characters to ^I?

When pasting the tab character ' '(\t) directly into the Radian REPL, the tab key is displayed as ^I, rather than as four spaces or the tab char ' '(\t) itself. The same behavior occurs when VSCode sends code containing tabs to the Radian REPL.
