Thanks for the replies. I am in the "totally disagree" camp with tabs vs spaces. At the end of the day, tabs are one key to add, one key to remove, and that helps speed things up. It's kinda weird relying on your software to handle tabs as spaces, considering the argument for spaces over tabs has to do with software handling of them. Patch for a patch?
I'd really like to see the option for tabs in HAML/SASS. -Ras the tab lover. :) On Jan 17, 7:18 pm, Nathan Weizenbaum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Precisely. > > jordanisip wrote: > > If you use textmate you can set the amount of spaces your tab key will > > use (called soft tabs) at the bottom of the window.
