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
"translate_tabs_to_spaces":false,
"tab_size": 4

see that please
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)
...foo
bar
Repeatedly pressing “tab” with the cursor just before “bar”:
[code]…foo
…bar
…bar
…bar
etc.[/code]
For me, it seems that the tabstops are always at multiples of 2.
Thanks,

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,
Mike
