      Does anyone know how to set the tab character to perform white space instead of actual tab?

        Settings > Preferences > Language, over in the Tab Settings.

        • Tab size : ___ => sets how many spaces.
        • ☑ Replace by space => will use spaces instead of tabs

        This can actually be overridden on a per-language basis. So if you want it to default to spaces, select [Default] and check the box. Then, select the individual lanugages, then either choose ☑ Use default value, or uncheck ☐ Use default value and change the size and space settings for that language.

          Thanks so much. I never thought to look in the language settings, I was always looking in the edit settings.

          Happy Day!
