4.9.14 Tabs

Syntax: Tabs [0|1]
Abbreviation: TAB

sets the Tabs flag. When this flag is set, Tab key and the InsertTab command will insert literal TAB characters. Otherwise it will insert enough spaces to have the same visual effect.

In normal editing, the Tab key invokes the command "InsertTab 1". Unlike most others, the Tab key cannot be mapped to other commands. Thus the Tabs flag provides the only customization ne offers for the Tab key.

If set, either a lower case ‘t’ or upper case ‘T’ will appear in the status bar depending on the state of the ShiftTabs flag. (The ShiftTabs flag is irrelevant if the Tabs flag is off.) See ShiftTabs.
