            Bug ID: 159477
           Summary: There should be a way to insert blank spaces instead
                    of "\t" in the Basic IDE when Tab is pressed
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.6.4.1 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: BASIC
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

When editing code in the Basic IDE, an actual \t character is added. In modern
code editors, instead of \t a sequence of blank spaces is added (usually 4
spaces).

I understand that some programmers may like having that \t character in their
code, but I dislike it very much.

My proposal is: there should be a way to configure this behavior in the Basic
IDE. Maybe in the Tools - Options - Basic IDE dialog we could have an entry
"Add blank spaces instead of \t when pressing Tab".
