Bug ID: 359840
Summary: Incorrect smartTab indentation mode implementation
Product: kate
Version: 5.0.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: part
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: lampus.la...@gmail.com
It's not a bug actually, but very strange behavior for advanced text editor.
Accordingly to source code radio button "Increase indentations level if in
leading blank space" enables so called "Smart Tab Mode":
KateDocumentConfig::global()->setTabHandling(KateDocumentConfig::tabSmart);
But it works in absolutely opposite way than expected.
When we say about "Smart Tabs" usually is mentioned something like described
here: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SmartTabs
Short quote from link above: "There is a semantic way of using tab characters
in source code: tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment. This ensures that
the code is displayed correctly everywhere, regardless of the viewer’s tab
size."
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start any application based on ktexteditor component (e.g. kate)
2. Go to Indentation Config dialog (Kate-specific example: Settings ->
Configure Kate... -> Editing -> Indentation)
3. Select Default indentation mode: Normal
Check radio button "Tabulators and spaces" in "Indent using:" group box.
Check radio button "Increase indentations level if in leading blank space"
4. Press "Tab"
5. Input some keyword
6. Press "Tab" again
Actual Results:
String "....keyword\t", where
'.' - space symbol,
\t - tabulator;
Expected Results:
String "\tkeyword...."
ktexteditor version 5.19.0
