do you mean this description of expand-tabs is not accurate?
No, but it is arguably misleading.
Code at least seems to do what the description says:
if (!lookup_bool_variable("expand-tabs"))
insert_char_in_insert_mode('\t');
else
insert_expanded_tab(insert_char_in_insert_mode);
but I'm obviously missing something, as it doesn't work.
As I explained, TAB is bound to indent-relative, and that doesn't often
end up calling that code.
I have discovered that Emacs doesn't have expand-tabs. For that reason,
it now seems sensible to me to implement tab-always-indent instead. It
has a more sensible behaviour than expand-tabs: setting it to false
causes indent-relative to insert a \t. (Actually it's a little more
complex than that in Emacs, as there's another level of command
indirection, but I don't think I need inflict that on Zile.)
Does this sound like a good solution? As I said before, rebinding TAB
will work for you until I implement it.
