I want to enter tab characters into my python code, at the start of lines, ideally by pressing the tab key

Try to search on the web for how to NOT have Notepad++ convert tab to spaces. There are only results for the other way around, people who want tabs converted to spaces. Is there any way, for example, when I enter a new line and press tab twice, I will get two tabs instead of all space characters?

I found out that any file not named *.py is immune from this problem. So I can copy myprog.py to myprog.bak, edit it and then copy it back. But that is unwieldy. Also, I apologize in advance for being the only person in the world that likes indenting with tabs. I have never had any problem doing it this way, and no one has ever explained to me why it is a taboo. I can compose a script anywhere on any text editor and it always works perfectly, except for Notepad++

@Alan-Kilborn SOLVED! I realized that I had to select Python in the drop down box, not leave it at [Default]. Thanks very much!
