Hi All,

I would like to know if there is a way to tabify/untabify a portion of
selected text?
I know I can mark text and change the indentation with tab/shift tab
and that will also delete tabs (if configured).

But it does only delete the tab on the start of the line before the
first token.
E.g. '-->token-->nextToken;' becomes '....token-->nextToken;' ('.' =
one space, '-->' = one tab).
I would like it to become '....token....nextToken;'.

How can I do that, only for a selection - not for the whole document.


I've wanted that a few times as well. One reasonable way would be to
change the `Document->Replace [tabs|spaces] with [tabs|spaces]` options
to only affect the current selection if there is one. It just requires
someone who cares enough to implement it :)

Someone did a while ago and it made it in 1.26 already ;)
https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/394

So, just select some lines and use that feature and it should do what
you like.  WFM at least :)


Doesn't work here, internal spaces/tabs aren't replaced like the OP is asking about. That PR seems to only affect leading indentation and only when the whole line is selected.

Matthew Brush
