Tab keypress bug?

[oriceon]

Hello, sometimes when i press tab key (even if in settings i have "tab_size": 4, ) it will indent with only 2 spaces.
Anybody else has this problem?

I`m on Windows 7 x64 using dev 2097

When you press tab with translate_tabs_to_spaces on, it won't always insert tab_size spaces, it'll insert enough spaces to take you to the next tabstop (i.e., the next column that's a multiple of tab_size), which will insert between 1-tab_size spaces

Sorry, i didn`t understand you. Why in some cases when i press tab it will insert 4 space ( = tab with size 4) and in other cases.. only 2 ( = tab with size 2).
In user settings i have

Code: Select all

   "translate_tabs_to_spaces":false,
   "tab_size": 4

see that please

That's working as it should - tab indents up to the next tab stop.

I think I'm seeing the same problem...

I've got tab_size set to 3 (and translate_tabs_to_spaces: true in my case), but repeatedly pressing tab will only indent by 2 spaces each time.

(Using "." to represent a space)

Code: Select all

...foo
bar

Repeatedly pressing "tab" with the cursor just before "bar":

Code: Select all

...foo
..bar

....bar

......bar
etc.

When you press tab with translate_tabs_to_spaces on, it won't always insert tab_size spaces, it'll insert enough spaces to take you to the next tabstop (i.e., the next column that's a multiple of tab_size), which will insert between 1-tab_size spaces

For me, it seems that the tabstops are always at multiples of 2.

Thanks,
Mike

Check the indentation settings that are applied to the current file, via the View/Indentation menu - it sounds like the automatic indentation detection is setting the tab_size to 2 for you. You can disable it via setting the detect_indentation setting to false.

Brilliant! Yes, that was exactly it.

It still amazes me how much there is to this editor I've yet to discover!

Many thanks,
