      I am using v7.9.3 and need to change the default behavior of the keyboard Tab key so it inserts 3 spaces instead of a 4-column hard tab character. I was able to do this on older versions of Notepad++ by merely going to Settings->Preferences->Editing but I can’t seem to find what I am looking for there any more. Thanks :-)

        Go to the Settings menu and then choose Preferences… to see:

          Great, and thanks for your quick response. It certainly wasn’t obvious to me that it should have been in the Language category rather than in Editing, but at least it’s fixed now :-)

            Well, it’s very dependent upon language choice, as you should now be aware.
            It’s always good to look entirely through the Preferences pages for what you’re looking for.
