Use tab size from notepad settings #28

A tab size of 2 cm/9 characters makes substitution text unreadable and forces the user to scroll - inconvenient.

Please provide more context. Are you saying you try to use a tab in the substitution text and Notepad++ is not converting it?

anjemor commented 2 years ago

No. It's about the substitution text field in the Quicktext settings dialog.

Not sure that's possible - the Substitution Text field is not a Scintilla edit control, it's a simple Windows Edit Text dialog control. I can't adjust tab sizes with SCI_ commands. If you have a way, feel free to submit a PR.

Ok, after digging into this, it seems like Windows doesn't support any easy way to do this without using richedit. So the best way for me is not to use tabs.
