Yes, easily, because only lines 1 & 2 have TAB characters. Line 3 has no TAB characters, so ET's algorithm doesn't need to do anything with it. See attached screenshot. Also remember, Object Pascal is not sensitive to whitespace (like some other languages), so if need be, add blacks lines if you must. Often it makes a method implementation easier to read too - separating related tasks in a single method implementation. I do that, even when I don't use ET. Also, if you want what things to be aligned when using an ET enabled editor, then use spaces instead of a TAB character. Like any programming style - make it work for you. Elastic Tabstops will obviously not be a perfect fit for everybody - nothing ever is. But (to me at least) it is a damn sight better than anything before it. The pros far outweigh the cons for me. The pure joy of multiple developers looking at the exact same file, but each developer having their own style (indentation and padding) preferences applied is a huge plus for me. Also in DDL SQL having field comments perfectly align next to table fields is awesome. Also viewing TAB delimited data dumps is awesome - giving text editors the ability to view data like Excel or LibreOffice Calc.
