The difference is it allows for a variable width display of tabs. Different people have different preferences for their tab width. Personally, I prefer 8 columns for a tab, but the guy next door might like 3. A scheme that has tabs for indents allows for everybody's preference. The spaces are particular to the statement. The width of alignment depends on the previous line of the statement, not on how wide I prefer my tabs to be. So it seems like there is no feature available. I guess I'll request this feature on vim.org. Thanks guys. Oliver --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
