Add option to make tab key insert tab character or spaces for each file #220

Currently I use KDE's Kate as a text editor. In the status bar it has a button to set the tab key to insert a configurable number of spaces or a tab character, and also configure the width of tab characters. These options are set for each file, but the defaults are also configurable. I'd love to see this feature added to lite. As is, the apparent inability to insert tab characters makes it impossible to follow the style guide for some projects I work on.
