Summary: Disable Indentation

Initial Comment:
I've been strugling around getting the indentation of
SciTE to suite my needs, but unfortunately I've not
been able to find the right combination of settings.

It wouldn't be that bad if I were able to disable
indentation completely, so I can do things manually. By
disabling indentation I mean pressing the tab-key just
inserts a tab and does nothing else, and pressing
backspace just deletes the character before the caret
and does not convert existing spaces into tabs or the
other way around.

For your information, the way I use indentation, and why:

In php I sometimes use more lines per statement to make
for example SQL statements readable:

// '-->' denotes a tab
function buildQuery() {
-->$query = "SELECT `field` ".
-->         "FROM `table` ".
-->         "WHERE `property` = 'value'";
-->return $sql;
}

When the tabsize changes (because the file is loaded in
some other text editor), the sql statement remains
readable, because the number of tabs would not depend
on the length of "$query = "
