Breaks indentation

[dhruvasagar]

Hi,

while using commentary to comment on javascript files, I have noticed that we add spaces instead of tabs after the commentstring, which breaks linters (jshint) for javascript.

[dhruvasagar]

If the file has tabs, we should use tabs for indents, otherwise spaces?

We should, but I'm not sure what should happen when 'tabstop' does not equal 'shiftwidth', and we break a tab in half.

hmm

[seliverstov-maxim]

it breaks indention before:

class SomeClass
    def some_method
        do_something
    end
end

use command for method:

class SomeClass
# def some_method
# do_something
# end
end

use command for method again:

class SomeClass
def some_method
do_something
end
end

expectation:

class SomeClass
#   def some_method
#       do_something
#   end
end

Reopen issue pls

This is with hard tabs? Your example doesn't have hard tabs.

What is the value of :echo get(b:, 'commentary_startofline')?

Nothing happen if I enter this command :echo get(b:, 'commentary_startofline')

Yes. It's spaces.

Issue is "Breaks indentation". My indention reliazed by spaces.

[seliverstov-maxim]

I suppose that if there is a space at the beginning of the line then replace it by #. At least leave as is but don't delete spaces.
