Hi Yuki,

Well, I stopped smoking in Nov 1999 after 26 years. There are a lot of
people changing that habit too. I also stopped having a mug of coffee
for every waking hour of the day at the same time. Habits *can* be
unlearned when they are seen to be inappropriate.
I'm not telling you that you must - or even /should/ - change your
habits. I'm just making the philosophical point that it is an option
available to you :-).

What turning off auto-indent should prevent is the "creeping left
margin" phenomenon when this happens. It won't prevent a space from
taking up a real character position in the text. It is up to you to be
looking at the screen (rather than the keyboard) while typing ;-)).
Seriously though, there is nothing TB can do other than obey what you
are typing. How is TB (or the programmers teaching the editor how to
respond) supposed to know that the space you *typed* at the start of a
new line is *not* supposed to be an indentation in this instance?
I can't think of an implementation rule or a switch that would work
clearly and cleanly and not get in the way of what's *supposed* to
work.
