Description

The debate over using tabs versus spaces for indentation in code has been a long-standing and often polarizing issue among programmers. Different developers and teams have strong preferences, and these preferences can vary widely depending on coding standards, language conventions, or personal style. Currently, the tab width inside code blocks is fixed, which doesn't accommodate these varying preferences. Allowing users to customize the length of the tab width inside code blocks would provide greater flexibility and improve the user experience for developers who rely on specific indentation settings. This feature would help align the editor with common practices in the programming community and cater to individual workflow needs.

Impact

Developers who prefer tabs over spaces
