The fast fix would be a line
TAB = 4;
in python_mode() for a consistent indent-tab behaviour.
Until this is fixed, you can define a mode-hook in your .jedrc
define python_mode_hook ()
{
TAB = 4;
}
For the most popular way (only spaces), set
USE_TABS = 0;
in your .jedrc.
However this is global to jed. If you want a fix only for python files,
you need to define the python_mode_hook as
define python_mode_hook ()
{
TAB = 0;
}
The problem is how to handle existing files with TABs in them.
We can convert them to spaces-only with untab_buffer(), a small helper
function in
jedmodes.sf.net/mode/bufutils/
however, we have to make sure, the variable TAB is correct, before doing
this (as untab replaces a '\t' with TAB spaces.
public define untab_buffer()
{
push_spot();
mark_buffer();
untab();
pop_spot();
}
Single lines with TABs are easily reformatted pressing Key_Tab (i.e. with
indent-line), but auto-formatting the whole buffer with indent_buffer()
fails in most cases (because of the "missing" braces in python).
