Hi Nikos,

I noticed that we have the ability to specify how many spaces per <TAB>.  

But can we go one step further by exposing the "Insert spaces" and "Keep tabs" functionality similar to Visual Studio?  So that a certain of space characters are inserted instead of a <TAB> character when you hit TAB.

A "Untabify selection" would be nice too :)

Thanks,
Kevin

that's not bad for an option for a future version
but don't expect ed2 to rival developer studio anytime soon  :)

for untabify selection you can do a replace from tabs to any number of spaces you want. I know it's a bit of a drag specifying special characters like tabs (you can select a tab before you press Ctrl+R) but that's another area I'm looking into
