Tab indentation options

[JohanR]

It would be nice to set the indentation width of a tab character to a user defined value (i.e. other than 4) so the format of the code looks the same in Cirrus as it does in Visual Studio where we have changed to a 2 space indentation scheme.
I have looked in the options dialog but not found any option for that.

I would not mind having the same options as Visual Studio with "insert spaces/insert tabs" when in full edit mode.

Hi Johan!

The option for this can be found in the File Formats Dialog.
For any format that is openedin via Text viewer there is a Misc tab where you can enter the amount of spaces for a tab.

Hope this helps ...

Visual studio differentiates between the indent size and the tab size.

I've set my Cirrus tab size to 2 since that's our indent size (and insert spaces), but it means that when I open a file edited by someone who inserted tabs with a tab size of 8, nothing lines up.

It is on our wish list to support separate Tab and Indent settings.

Great, seems to have all I need :-)
