- daghoidahl 7y agoI agree completely. Elastic tabstops are such an elegant solution to the whole debate. It turns the tab character into what it should be semantically, a character to denote alignment, just as it is used in a wysiwyg word processor. When supported by the editor, it also allows the user to align columns using a proportional font instead of the fixed-with fonts we have to use now. The concept has been discussed on HN earlier, but the accessibility argument is something that I hadn't considered or seen anyone discuss.
