Syntax: Tabs [0|1]
Abbreviation: TAB
sets the Tabs
flag. When this flag is true,
the InsertTab
command will insert literal
TAB characters. Otherwise it will insert enough spaces to
have the same visual effect.
In normal editing, the <Tab> key invokes the command
"InsertTab
1". Unlike most others, the <Tab> key cannot
be mapped to other commands. Thus the Tabs
flag provides the
only customization ne
offers for the <Tab> key.
The Tabs
flag also affects the action of the <BackSpace> and
<Delete> keys in one special circumstance. That is, if the normal
action of these keys would remove white space, and that white space
could be represented by a tab, then one tab's worth of space is
removed. In all other cases, the <BackSpace> and <Delete> keys
perform their normal function.
If you invoke Tabs
with no arguments, it will toggle the flag. If you
specify 0 or 1, the flag will be set to false or true, respectively. A lower
case ‘t’ will appear on the status bar if the flag is true.
