Dale, I'm subject to the same deficit on occasion. > First off, just to be sure I'm understanding you correctly (I may not; see > above), Emacs isn't issuing evenly spaced tabs. Yes? Yes. > Secondly, what do you mean by "line contiuation errors"? I don't > think I've ever seen Emacs generate one. That's 'arrows,' not 'errors.' Within emacs a line longer than the buffer width wraps without a newline and the wrapping is indicated by a curved arrow in the left margin of the buffer window. > Thirdly, is the TAB key actually issuing a <tab> character (<ctrl-I>)? Dunno. Haven't looked. But, if the [Tab] key emits spaces instead of tabs, then the uneveness makes even less sense as the number of spaces should be a constant. > What happens if you type C-q TAB instead of TAB by itself? Haven't tried that. Will later today. > Finally, are your tab stops set to something you're expecting? You can > issue "M-x ruler-mode" to see the tab stop locations. Good point. I'll check this, too. Thanks, Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
