            Bug ID: 439124
           Summary: Konsole - tabs to space conversion
           Product: konsole
           Version: 21.04.1
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: tabbar

SUMMARY

Hello. I noticed that the output on Konsole terminal is different from the
output on the file.

Example:

du test/*
4       test/aaa-file.txt
4       test/bbb-file.txt
4       test/ccc-file.txt

Between "4" and "test/aaa-file.txt" there are 7 spaces. So I copy that output
from Konsole, I'll get 7 spaces in between.

On the other hand, if I run the following command du test/* >
~/Desktop/output.txt, I'll get tabs instead, on the output.txt file.

4   test/aaa-file.txt  (<<< tab in between)
4   test/bbb-file.txt  (<<< tab in between)
4   test/ccc-file.txt  (<<< tab in between)


That makes total difference in terms of CTRL-C + CTRL-V results. You can copy
and paste from Konsole terminal into other softwares and the results are much
better.

Where can I disable this "tab to spaces" conversion on KDE Konsole?

I really-really-really appreciate your help. Thank you so much.
