SciTE-Lite Tabs 3 Spaces, Full Editor Tabs 4

[Xichael]

I've noticed when loading scripts I wrote using the lite version of SciTE into the full editor, that their tab entries are only 3 spaces wide, whereas the full editor's are 4. Was it set up this way intentionally?

Xichael,

Just add these lines to your "user options":

tabsize=#
indent.size=#

where "#" is the tab size you require, and you can set it to whatever value you wish.

Edit: Or of course, use SciTEConfig to change it directly.

It's fine. I've switched to the full editor and "Tidied" all my scripts.

I just wanted to bring it to the developer's attention in case the discrepancy wasn't intentional.

Just checked but it seems that SciTE-Lite also has a 4 space tab setting or am I missing something?

Just that 3 spaces is the default for one, and 4 for the other. Might as well set them up the same out of the box so there's no inconsistency if moving from one to the other.

[Jos]

Understood your remark, but that is not what I see. Looked at both default settings and they both seem to have 4 space tabs as default.

Really? That's odd. I think I have the latest SciTE-Lite version (3.5.4) and I haven't changed the settings, but tab is doing 3 spaces. I'll see if reinstalling fixes it.

[Xichael]

...Nope. I uninstalled, wiped all traces of SciTE (including the full editor and any files in %UserProfile% and %LocalAppData%), reinstalled, opened a script and the indentation guides are all at 3 spaces.

Again, I don't mind as I use the full editor exclusively now, but I just thought I'd bring it to your attention.

Ha, found the issue.

Thanks,
Jos
