I'm pretty sure that what that filter does is actually the *reverse* of what's
being asked for.

People who want variable tab stops don't want to have a filter applied after

Yes Nisus Writer on the classic OS did keep text in the data fork and
formatting in the resource fork, but surely any word processor will be able to
just export a text file, so you could utilise the variable tab stops in any

How to make a feature request for moveable (variable) tab stops?

that wider tab stops can sometimes help with reading complicated (to
me) code.
Is there any reason not to allow this feature?
