Support for using real tabs in editor or external editor

[Daniel Wee]

The current editor is not bad but seems to be geared towards using spaces for tabs. It has some strange behaviour because of this, for example if you type the following:-

test<tab><tab><tab>//

The three tabs will show up as spaces. But if you do this:-

test//

and then go back and insert the 3 tabs, they will be real tabs instead of spaces.

In this test, my editor options are:-

(checked)
Auto indent
Want tabs
Smart tab delete

(unchecked)
Smart tabs
Tabs to spaces


Is it possible to provide better support for real tabs throughout in the new compiler instead of just in the first column?

We have worked on this issue in the new IDE. You may check it as soon as we release mikroC PRO for PIC, which is expected in next 2-3 weeks.
