Also check the indent/unindent keyboard shortcuts - by default these are ctrl-i, ctrl-u. Only with the hidden pref use_tab_to_indent set can you also indent with Tab. The way it works for me is that indenting/unindenting changes the indent by 4 spaces, but the total indent is made up out of leading tabs plus some spaces (once the indent is big enough), the tabs being equivalent to 8 spaces. E.g. press indent 3 times - equivalent of 12 spaces: <TAB><SP><SP><SP><SP> Unindent twice - so total is now 4: <SP><SP><SP><SP> Regards, Nick _______________________________________________ Geany mailing list [email protected] http://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany
