Category: IDLE Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: Works For Me Priority: 5 Submitted By: jrgutierrez (jrgutierrez) Assigned to: Kurt B. Kaiser (kbk) Summary: tabs missing in idle options configure Initial Comment: 1)The option to select indentation type (insert spaces or tabs) is missing 2) The indented width is ignored As a result IDLE 2.5 always indents inserting tabs, width 8 Sources edited in IDLE 2.4 cannot be corrected with IDLE 2.5: The tabbing errors cannot be corrected with IDLE 2.5. You must revert to IDLE 2.4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kurt B. Kaiser (kbk) Date: 2006-10-01 02:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=149084 See IDLE NEWS for 1.2a1. The ability to configure tab insertion as a default didn't work, and was removed. You can set the default by changing config-main.def: [Indent] use-spaces=0 but Python policy is to strongly encourage spaces instead of tabs. For any edit window, you can switch to tab indentation by using the Format / Toggle Tabs menu selection. When using Tabs in an edit window, the indent width must be eight spaces because of Tk limitations. If a file uses tabs, you have to toggle tabs 'on' before you start editing it. IDLE doesn't yet have the ability to detect whether a file uses tabs or spaces. (A TAB indicator in the status line would be useful.) Note that Tabs are always used in the Shell window. I'm not sure what you mean by "cannot be corrected". The Format menu has Tabify and Untabify. I suspect it might be clearer if the dialog asking for 'tab width' was changed to ask for 'indent width'. I am able to change back and forth between tabs and spaces in any region, but it does take some care. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1567450&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
