<![CDATA[Tab-stops should be settable to larger than 99 columns.]]>Why does the setting for tab-stops go to just 99 columns? It should be more than this. I feel like 99 isn’t enough. Ever since I switched to Notepad++ I find myself doing double-takes at my code just to figure out what is going on. 99 columns just doesn’t allow for enough whitespace.

It just seems like such an arbitrary limit.

Normally that would seem like a sane limit and if someone accidentally typed something over 99 they’d probably complain that tabs could be set so high.
