      I’m using a language where the tab is a displayed character instead of moving the cursor position.

      How can I set a file so that it displays a chosen character when I press tab?

        View > View Spaces and Tabs will let you see when there is an actual tab character – it will have a stretchy right-arrow

          @peterjones Yeah; the thing is, when I press “tab”, I want it to insert a visible tab that takes up only one space.

          But only for that language…

            Well, you can set that up, for a given language, here:
