Setting to use hard tabs in the editor

[LoganDark]

Much like 2-wide tabs are ridiculous I think forcing any particular tab width is ridiculous. I believe tab characters are the only way to indent. There is no setting for this at present but I think there should be.

Apparently show invisibles doesn't show them either but tab should probably be shown as » or similar.

I believe you shouldn't have any issues using Tab in the latest beta v5.0.0 of the editor, it no longer automatically converts to spaces.

There is also a Tab Size setting available there.

But yes, "show invisibles" doesn't work for tabs; I believe that's an issue with the cm5 plugin.

I won't be addressing it for now, as it is slated for the v6 milestone—which is when we plan to upgrade to cm6 and refactor the editor.

My current top priority is advancing the work on v5.

Alright, should we close now or only once the changes in that beta hit the App Store?

Beta version is available on TestFlight. We can keep this issue open for now.
