Hello Segger Team,


when Tabs are configured, spaces are still used for automatic indentation.

For example this code from the default project:



When pressing enter at the end of the line with the printf-statement to enter an additional printf statement, spaces are used to intend.



In addition, the default values of the options are bit uncommon. Why distinguish between “Tab Size” and “Indent Size”? When “Tab Size” is not identical to “Indent Size” the Indentation is filled with spaces. Why differentiate here?
In addition, the default size of eight columns for the “Tab Size” is also very uncommon. I think four is used most and should therefore be default.



Regards

Hello Nino,


I’ve only enabled the „Use Tabs” Setting for C and C++ like this:

Tools --> Options --> Languages



And I enabled the visibility of white spaces to make the behavior better observable

Edit --> Others --> Visible White Spaces

Use the default project and ‘tabbify’ it like this:



Press Enter after the printf-statement. Embedded Studio is automatically intending to the level of the printf statement. If you type a new statement here it is intended with spaces instead of tabs.



Should be easy to reproduce.


Best Regards
