Hi, I've got a problem with how this program handles tabs, I don't know if it's a setting that I've set incorrectly or something, but it's not working as I think it should.
When coding I use tabs for indenting, not spaces. Hitting the [tab] key to add a tab works fine, as does pressing [return] to move to the next line correctly adds the number of tabs to auto-indent. So far so good!
The problem I have is when it comes to deleting tabs - if I hit the [backspace], it replaces the tab character with 3 spaces, which then requires a further press of the backspace key to remove.
Is there any way I can stop these tabs from being converted into spaces? Thank you.

Now it's acting diffrently once again... When I hit backspace on a line with tabs on it, the entire line is now being deleted.
I'm more than happy at this point to admit that I could have messed up a setting somewhere, so what I'd like to do first is reset all the options back to default, can you let me know how to do this please? Then I'll work on it further to see what happens.

OK, I can give you some more info...
First of all, I've reinstalled the program from scratch, so everything was set back to default...
The 'tabs turning into spaces when deleted' thing still exists, but only when inside if statement curley bracks {}
if I type
then press [backspace] to delete the second tab, it turns it into 3 spaces..
Most unusual behavour...

Code: Select all
if ($var) {
[tab]echo 'hi mum';
