I would like for my editor to not automatically replace spaces with tab as a option and still allow for shift+tab. Usually I stick with tabs and not bother with space unless it’s for alignment purpose, but there are some cases where a weird mix of tab and space is essential. Here’s a rare case where a weird mix of tab and space for alignment is critical:
if $mode_16
activate_randomize|=!$visited_16?!$index_16
shift_plane={"a=[${26-41}];
b=[${42-57}];
diff_mode=a!=b;
if(diff_mode,
const use_swap_mode=$9;
diff_pos=argmax(abs(a-b));
use_swap_mode?(
swap_pos=find(b,a[diff_pos],0,1);
swap(b[diff_pos],b[swap_pos]);
set('order',v2s(b-1));
):(
position_start=b[diff_pos];
position_final=a[diff_pos];
differential=position_final<position_start?1:-1;
fill(a,p,
v=b[p];
inrange(v,position_start,position_final,1,1)?(
v+=differential;
);
v;
);
a[diff_pos]=position_final;
set('order',v2s(a-1));
);
);
diff_mode;"}
persistent_change:=$activate_randomize||$shift_plane
if $activate_randomize
index_16:=$index_16?v(1,20922789888000,1,0):(v=v(1,20922789887999,1,0);v+=v>=$index_16;);
order=${rep_permutation_index2list\ 16,$index_16}
elif $shift_plane
index_16=${rep_permutation_list2index\ $order}
elif $depth_changed||!$visited_16
order={[${26-41}]-1}
inverse_order=${rep_inverse_permutation\ $order}
fi
if $persistent_change
$plane_16_series:=[$order]+1
inverse_order=${rep_inverse_permutation\ $order}
cli_base=$order
fi
if $persistent_change||$depth_changed||!$visited_16
65536,1,1,2,sum((x>>[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15]&1)<<(c?[$inverse_order]:[$order]))
store. _persistent
cli_base=$order

visited_16=1

You don’t see it here, but there are definitely space and tab. Tab is used for indentation and space is used for alignment, and it looks correct irrespective of tab size.
And for how it’s seen, I’d really like that tab has always it own size instead of displaying it with variable size in mixed case like this.
