Yes bud, it does, I am tired of pretending that it doesn't

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.

What you seem to be talking about is quite esoteric and not something that seems worth worrying about

Expand  

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.

except if you are a person creating an editor program or somesuch.

Expand  

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.

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.

I thought you said you knew I wasn't using spaces.

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.

To TAB or NOT to TAB ... that is the question.

We have a TAB here in AUS, where folk go to place bets.

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.

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?

I see that you are indeed using TABs

Why is it that I am thinking you made a BIG ASS with your first post here about all this.
