Thank you for the indication!
I could not find this setting, now I see it...
(In my French version :

I still think a *style* would be useful and more flexible (especially to get 
right align tabs)
If we can create a script to adjust the tabs positions and types to a regular 
sequence with a given width
(so that one could change it with one click and one numeric choice)

The maths are easy,
the tricky part is to find out how to get and set the style properties in the 
script
(There are some indications here 
<https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Using_createParagraphStyle>, but this page 
explains how to /create/ a paragraph style, and does not mention tabs)...


Using Scripter for settings tabs is supposedly possible:

under createParagraphStyle():


"tabs" [optional] -> a list of tab definitions
        a tab is defined as a tuple with the following format 
(position,type,fillchar)
        position [required] -> float value for the position
        type [optional] -> left: 0 [default], right: 1, period: 2, comma: 3, 
center: 4
        fillchar [optional] -> the char to fill the space; default is none

My guess is that it would take a lot of work to figure this out.
I would prefer to manually make a style with tabs, perhaps in a dummy document, 
then import it when I wanted it.
