Fellow Eclipse users, (you can ignore this email if you are not one):
Eclipse is great and has all the goodies I need in an open source, code
completing, block collapsing IDE. I finally have it fully configured for and
would like to use it for PHP, Python, etc. But there is one fatal flaw: I
can't seem to find a way to change tab to spaces. I need specifically to
change tab to three spaces, (so that when I type tab, I get three spaces).
The code is much cleaner this way and there are many current and possible
future clients who require this. I have tried both Eclipse 3.1 and 3.2 and
do not find this feature. Please tell me how to change this setting, or, if
possible an easy work around. Please don't tell me about the "Displayed tab
width" setting. This is for display only and does not effect the actual
text. Sorry if I sound upset, it's because I am frustrated with this huge
oversight and/or sloppily excluded feature.

I am using the PHPeclipse plugin for Eclipse. I have a setting in my
preferences called "Insert spaces for tab (see Code Formatter preference
page". I get to it in my preferences window by going to:
-PHPeclipse Web Development
-PHP
-Typing (tab)
I am using Eclipse 3.1.1 on Mac OSX 10.3.9 with PHPeclipse version 1.1.8.
