It does, as I demonstrate in my quote of you above. Try reading source code like that. The only sensible way of reading source code is by viewing it with at the same overall window width in which the author wrote it. Viewing at a different tab size destroys this. > Pass -x[size] to less or put it in the LESS environment variable to make it default. You can also type it in while less is running. Except that I need to figure out the most appropriate tab size to use on a per-file-author basis if "variable tabs" were used, so this doesn't work because I get the problem as described above.
