I’m not sure if the GP is asking for what you seem to be referring to. I thought of that request as the keys should insert the characters they stand for. Are you thinking only about multiple spaces used instead of a tab? Spaces are routinely used to increase readability in code. Even something as simple as comparisons in loops are more readable with spaces around the symbols. There are many other cases where spaces are used as spaces.
- TheNewAndy 6y agoI think they understood. I'm happy with this as an example of a mix (and now prepared for the formatting to be eaten), which I believe would be seen as obscene by the commenter: { <tab>foo(arg1 <tab> ,arg2 <tab> ); } Though I think this example is less likely to be controversial: { <tab>bar(); /* Some comment <tab> * across two lines */ } But it is all fine, because I don't really feel like I need to defend my preferences - that is the nice thing about them.
