Behavior for <tab> key

[cmundi]

I love using and SHIFT+ to change the indentation of a line or a whole block of selected code.

There are times when I'd like to be able to insert spaces (in lieu of 0x08) to fixed tab-stops, for example to add aligned comments to the "ends" of lines of code, like I do in other editors. I don't know how practical this is, since most windowing systems will catch things like CTRL+ and ALT+. Anyway, it's something to think about to save keystrokes and make code pretty.

CodeMirror recently changed their tab behaviour, so that's a possibility. If a shortcut is not an option due to platform specific stuff, we could probably use something like the menu on Textmate that allows to switch between regular and soft tabs.

Ah. I'm catching on...
