           Summary: chage tabulation size from 8 to 4 spaces, and allow to
                    format sources using the TAB sybmol when 8 spaces found
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: FreeBSD Ports
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel at kdevelop.org
        ReportedBy: eugenydzh at jdevelop.com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    FreeBSD Ports

I would like (and i hope, many peoples would like too) to have the feature in formatter, which allows to specify TAB as, for example, 4 spaces. And when user indents the line with 2 tabs, it will replace it with 1 normal tab symbol.

Actually, i could have this with custom format - i can specify to replace tab with 4 spaces, but when in editor i hit "backspace" on the indentation area, it will deletes 1 space, instead of "soft" tab (4 spaces).

Take a look at VIM to understand completely what i mean., with options.

:set tabstop=4
:set shiftwidth=4

Sorry for my english :)
