- I was angry because of the lackiing TABs too at the beginning. In the
- meanwhile I registered and guess what I only needed twice in the last two
- years: "real" TABs. I took MEMACS for that.
-
- Tell me, when do you need real TABs ? Programming in Arexx ?
- No, I do a lot and I never needed "real" tabs.
-
- Programming in C ? neither, I do this also, and did not need it ever.
-
- ASM ? Propably the only one I could imagine, that "real" tabs give some
- comfort, but as you can get the same result for "backspace" on a TAB with
- Shift-TAB this should be no problem.
-
- I would like to see "real" tabs also, but only because I think it belongs
- to an editor, because any other editor is able to do it, and hence some
- kind of standard, but I never need it. (and propably even would not use it
- because it is confusing for me). Besides that: You can bet a 99% that TABS
- never will find their way to Golded. And besides that it has so many
- features, that compensate the lacking TABs absolutley. And another thing:
- I even could imagine, that it could be possible to implement "real" tabs as
- an API client as you can intercept the TAB key and let your API answer it
- with inserting a real TAB and even so intercept spaces and backspaces or
- cursors. I belive that Golded "knows" of the ASCII value for TAB, as it can
- save it or tranlsate it when loading. But I just had a very quick and
- superficial look at the API.h
