Yes bud, it does, I am tired of pretending that it doesn't 41 minutes ago, TheSaint said: All that matters for me, is that things are uniform and I get what I expect when I click return or tab. And spaces defeat that purpose because they are inflexible unlike TABs which can be of any size depending on the user's preference. On small screens it is desirable to only have 2-character wide gap, but if your code is using spaces then you're out of luck, you have to muck around and forget about sharing your changes. 41 minutes ago, TheSaint said: What you seem to be talking about is quite esoteric and not something that seems worth worrying about Not at all bud, not at all, all coders should be aware of the implications of using spaces and tabs, that is the reason why I am kind of hijacking your thread A responsible coder should use TABs unless there is a very good reason not to. 41 minutes ago, TheSaint said: except if you are a person creating an editor program or somesuch. The people creating those editors are to be blamed for propagating the continued use of spaces in this modern age. So you shouldn't rely on them to pick the right approach for you. 41 minutes ago, TheSaint said: I certainly don't understand why you bothered to bring it up in this topic, especially in the telling off kind of manner you did. Well bud I hope you understand now, hopefully I have enlightened some of you. Peace! 🕊️ P.S. I do apologize for the momentary interruption caused by my passionate posts regarding this topic.

But I am using tabs bud. So you hijacked for no reason. Unless you are complaining that SciTE does indents wrongly? Good luck with that, as I am not about to change to another editor. If any folk are having an issue with my code, then from my point of view, the issue is them. 23 minutes ago, TheDcoder said: The people creating those editors are to be blamed for propagating the continued use of spaces in this modern age.

Gawd. 23 minutes ago, TheDcoder said: A responsible coder should use TABs unless there is a very good reason not to. To TAB or NOT to TAB ... that is the question. We have a TAB here in AUS, where folk go to place bets. 23 minutes ago, TheDcoder said: Well bud I hope you understand now, hopefully I have enlightened some of you. Peace! Peace on you too bud. You are like a light in the darkness, when the rest of us are just trying to sleep ..... Turn that bloody light out will ya. P.S. You do realize this is the Examples forum. All this if you needed to discuss it, should have been done in the Chat forum, not here. Edited June 4 by TheSaint TheDcoder 1 Make sure brain is in gear before opening mouth!

Gawd, didn't you say that you were configuring the number of spaces that were inserted when you hit Tab? Let me find the quote... Quote Bud, I was providing the number of spaces in the TABS I use ... get with the program. I can't believe you would think I spaced out those spaces for every line.

Or something equivalent to spaces ... whatever SciTE does. All I know, is that if I place the cursor at the start of a tab and click my right arrow, it jumps the amount of that indent value, not just a single space ... unless of course I'd made that indent a single space in program settings. To me, that indicates it is a true tab, and not just a bunch of spaces. How about you open my script and see that for yourself. P.S. Have you ever used SciTE?
